20 Stories

20 Stories offers dining and drinks from an elevated perspective on Manchester. The restaurant and terrace are in Spinningfields and provide 360-degree city views. The position is part of the experience, while the offering also centers on contemporary British cooking, a cocktail bar, and private gathering spaces.

The menu follows the seasons and highlights coastal seafood, responsibly sourced beef, and local produce. This approach places the food within British culinary traditions, with a selection that changes through the year. The terrace and restaurant provide different settings for a meal or a gathering over drinks.

Afternoon tea brings together finger sandwiches, warm scones with clotted cream and preserves, pastries, and a tea selection. A Champagne version is available. On Saturdays, brunch adds drinks and music from resident DJs, while afternoon and evening sessions create another rhythm for visits on selected days.

For groups, the property has a private dining room with views and options in the restaurant or on the terrace. Standard reservations accommodate up to twelve guests; larger parties use the events program. The venue belongs to The Evolv Collection, which includes other restaurants with height-related names in London and Birmingham.

Deansgate is listed as about a five-minute walk away and Oxford Road as nine minutes, according to the restaurant’s directions. St Peter’s Square Metrolink provides another connection. This location makes 20 Stories part of a central Manchester outing, combining dining, views, and a calendar of music and celebrations.
