A space where Manchester comes together to eat, drink, and connect.
Located in the heart of St. Peter’s Square, Exhibition brings together three independent food vendors, a dedicated cocktail bar, and live DJ's.
Unlike traditional food halls, Exhibition offers full table service, so you can enjoy the variety and energy of a multi-kitchen experience with the ease and elegance of a sit-down restaurant.
Our cocktail bar is as considered as our food - seasonal, creative and crafted to complement every dish.
With rotating food and drinks menus, there's always something new to discover.
From lunch through late-night, our space evolves — from laid-back dining to high-energy evenings with live DJs, bold flavours, and a vibrant crowd.
Whether you’re here for after-work drinks, dinner with friends, or weekend plans that roll into the early hours, Exhibition is a place to explore, indulge and come together.
Curate your own dining experience, ordering from any and all of our independent kitchens at once.
Our cocktail list is a labour of love, with house-made ingredients, garnishes and infusions, each Exhibition cocktail is our take on your favourite classics.
Enjoy the space from the restaurant and benches to the snug and bar. Each space comes alive with food, drink and music.
