About 11 Central
11 Central is a bar located in MediaCity, right on The Quays. It gets a solid 4.3 stars from over a hundred Google reviews. Open late most nights, you can grab a drink here from noon until 11 PM on weekdays, with slightly extended hours on weekends. The spot has both indoor seating and an outdoor area. Inside, the style is casual but trendy. They put on live music and performances, so check their schedule if that’s your thing. Expect a mix of groups and tourists; this is MediaCity, after all. They handle delivery and takeout, as well as dine-in service. Don't expect super quick service when it's busy, though, especially if you're ordering cocktails.
