About Menagerie
Menagerie is located in Spinningfields, right on Bridge Street. It's a restaurant, bar, brunch spot, and cocktail bar all rolled into one, staying open late most nights (2 AM on weekends). The place has racked up over a thousand reviews and sits at a solid 4 stars. Inside, the vibe leans trendy and upscale, maybe even a little romantic. They’ve got live music sometimes, which definitely adds to the atmosphere. The menu is broad, covering breakfast through dinner, with small plates for sharing. Drinks are a big deal here: they have beer, cocktails, a wine list, plus coffee and tea. For dietary needs, they offer halal, vegan, and vegetarian options. Menagerie is wheelchair accessible, with accessible entrances, restrooms, and seating. If you're just after some water they offer free refills.
