The Pen & Pencil Manchester |
An added touch of New York glamour has arrived in Manchester with the The Pen & Pencil bar and eatery on the corner of Hilton and Tariff Street.
Taking its name and inspiration from the infamous mid-20th Century bar on East 45th Street in New York, which was popular with newspaper journalists and ad men – the original ‘Mad Men’, The Pen & Pencil offers the perfect place for the NQ’s creative locals to chill, think, meet and enjoy great food and drink.
Open seven days a week, The Pen & Pencil is open from 10am right through until late, with a focus on a strong day time offering with great breakfast, brunch, lunch, vegan and vegetarian dishes washed down with top quality coffee and freshly blended smoothies.
The brunch includes American pancakes with a choice of toppings, their signature Eggs Pen and Pencil, Steak and Eggs and The Vegetarian Breakfast with Halloumi, poached egg, vine-ripened tomato, vegan sausages, spinach, hash browns, baked beans, mushroom & toasted sourdough.
