Time Out says

Taking the best of what the Northern Quarter has to offer - good eating, good drinking and creativity - Ply pulls all of them together in one very attractive place.

The feel is lofty, as in New York, with lots of wood, big windows around the raised perimeter, exposed metal and brick. And space, plenty of space. It's lively too, popular with after workers in the week and revellers in the evening. 

It's stylish, looking like all of the furniture has been ordered from MADE, with tasteful grey sofas and retro modern sideboards creating a central space around which the drinking posts and dining areas form.

Craft ales and a great selection of wine can accompany your meal if you chose to eat, and the proper wood fired oven baked pizzas are delicious, with creative sides like a shaved fennel salad. It's a simple menu which allows the quality to remain high.

But Ply is also plying its trade as a creative space, with a series of exhibitions as well, making it a one stop shop for Northern Quarter-ites and for anyone who enjoys a well thought through venue with ambitions beyond the standard.
