From the street food spots serving up tasty tacos, to Asian-style bao buns and even Detroit-style pizza, our city has it all – but when you’re on a budget, it’s the cheap eats that really steal our hearts. Enter, Bunny Jackson’s – a casual dive bar just a stone’s throw away from the Manchester universities providing laid back vibes and dirt cheap grub.
Perfect for students and those who prefer to keep their pennies in their pockets in general, the popular bar is well-known for its chicken wings – and it’s not because they’re coated in gold leaf and screaming for Instagram’s attention. In fact, it’s for quite the opposite, remaining pretty modest at the low price of just 25p per wing.
And the menu is just as finger lickin’ as the price, too, with an array of wings available including the classic wings, house BBQ, buffalo, Jack Daniel’s smoked honey mustard and even wings described as ‘hotter than the sun’. Prices range from 25p to £1 per wing (depending on the flavour), and for the more adventurous type, there’s a Hot Wings challenge available to take part in, and it’s definitely not for the faint of heart (or tongue!) – but milk is ready for you should you need it!
Elsewhere on the menu, guests will find pocket-friendly bar snacks such as jalapeño poppers, chicken dippers, dirty fries and more, with cheap as chips hot dogs served from 10pm til 2am if you’re peckish while out on the beers. The chilled bar shows NBA, NFL and MLB games regularly, with over 100 American whiskeys and a fridge full of US beers to sup while you’re there.
Bunny Jackson’s is open seven days a week from 5pm til 3am and can be found at 1 Jack Rosenthal St, Manchester, M15 4RA.
