Almost Famous Manchester

Big Flavour Burgers Just Steps from the Stage

Almost Famous Manchester is a bold, no-holds-barred burger joint located on Edge Street in the heart of the Northern Quarter. Known for its cheeky attitude, over-the-top burger creations, and graffiti-splashed interior, this spot is a go-to for those looking to fuel up before a big night out. It’s casual, energetic, and within easy walking distance of Manchester’s biggest music venues.

The menu is stacked with creative burgers loaded with everything from mac ‘n’ cheese to smoky pulled pork, alongside loaded fries, wings, and boozy milkshakes. It’s loud, it’s fun, and it doesn’t take itself too seriously — just like your favorite gig night.

Why Concert-goers love it

Almost Famous is a pre-show favourite thanks to its prime location near key venues like AO Arena and Manchester Academy. The service is fast and friendly, making it ideal if you're tight on time before a show. The lively vibe and music-cranked atmosphere also mean you're already in the mood before you even hit your seat.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends looking to share outrageous fries and laughs
• Solo travelers wanting something casual and tasty before heading to the gig

What People Say

Reviews on TripAdvisor and OpenTable praise the “epic burgers” and “fun, fast-paced vibe.” Guests love the “quirky decor,” “friendly staff,” and “great value for money.” The portions are generous and the menu offers enough variety for both meat-lovers and veggies.

Areas for Improvement

Some diners mention that it can get loud and crowded during peak times — but hey, that’s part of the pre-show buzz. A few reviews note a lack of healthy options, so if you’re counting calories, you might be in the wrong place (but you’ll still have a good time).

The Bottom Line

If you're after big burgers, fast service, and a fun vibe just minutes from Manchester’s top concert venues, Almost Famous delivers on every front.
