WELCOME The Modern is a sleek and sophisticated contemporary drinking and dining experience located at the top of one of Manchester’s most iconic buildings, Urbis; the centre dedicated to city life. Designed over two levels – floors 5 & 6, The Modern presents stunning panoramic views of the city skyline. We have created a cosy, intimate bar and restaurant, mixing dark woods, soft tweeds and warm, earthy colours that contrast with the clean lines and light open spaces of Urbis. Accessed via a private lift that transports you straight to our bar, we will do our very best to make your time with us both relaxing and enjoyable. The restaurant focuses on the fundamental principles of seasonal, regional foodstuffs. Provenance is especially important; we use only those suppliers supporting good husbandry techniques. Drinks at The Modern start with a classically assembled cocktail list, all made from the finest ingredients available, with care and a whole lot of love. RESTAURANT Located on level 5, our r estaurant can seat up to 72 diners. The menu changes seasonally and combines a love of good, honest produce with classic British cooking and a desire to offer great value for money. All our produce is locally sourced where possible, provenance is especially important to us, here at The Modern. Set lunch & pre-theatre menus are available, and we serve food in the restaurant from 12pm-3pm and 5pm-10pm every day. We also serve lighter snacks in our bar, presented with a minimum of fuss, and served all through the day and night. We have tried to create a small list of classic British comfort foods that give youa taste of what is available in our restaurant. The kitchen serves bar food from 12pm-11pm every day. BAR The Modern bar is located at the top of Urbis on level 6. We have a real passion for quality drinks, and they are a true highlight of any Modern experience. Using the finest spirits, fresh ingredients and squeezed juices and we have created a seasonally changing cocktail menu that harks back to the golden age of bartending; from the prohibition period through to the fifties and sixties. The menu contains many classics & some long forgotten gems – all made the way they should be. We’ve also put together a great wine & champagne list; many available by the glass and all good value for money. To top it all off our beers have been carefully chosen to offer a wide variety of styles, which will also change seasonally. Our bar can accommodate up to 60 drinkers, we serve drinks Sunday – Thursday 12pm-12am and 12pm-2am Friday & Saturday, bar food is available 12pm-11pm every day.
