Fenix takes groups from a table of 8 to a full-venue party of 300 standing guests. Company dinners, brand events, product showcases, client receptions, birthdays and wedding celebrations are all on its list, and each floor can be hired on its own or together with the others. The restaurant sits in the Goods Yard Building on Goods Yard Street in Manchester and serves modern Greek and Mediterranean food.
Seminars and company events
The venue is built for the social side of business rather than for a day of presentations. Teams book the private dining room for a board dinner, the Nest Bar for a drinks reception after a conference, or a whole floor for a client evening or a brand launch. The site lists corporate gatherings, brand events, showcases and promotions among the events it hosts, and it is already taking large-party and private-hire requests for Christmas 2026. The restaurant is open from noon to 1 a.m. every day, which leaves room for long lunches as well as late evenings.
Weddings and receptions
Wedding festivities appear on the list of events, and the mix of spaces suits the parts of a wedding that follow the ceremony: a rehearsal dinner in Sunset Cove, a drinks and canapé reception in the Nest Bar, or a seated dinner for up to 160 guests when a floor or the full venue is hired. The site does not mention ceremonies on site.
Rooms and capacities
Sunset Cove is the private dining room. It seats up to 18 guests at a single table or 26 across two tables. In the main restaurant, large-party tables take groups from 8 to 70. The Nest Bar is a semi-private space for up to 50 standing, or 8 to 30 seated for dinner. For a partial or full buyout, the figures rise to 160 seated for dinner, and 180 to 300 standing for drinks and canapés, depending on the floors chosen. A 3D walkthrough of the private spaces and a downloadable brochure are available on the official site.
Catering
All food comes from the Fenix kitchen. Group menus are built around sharing plates from Greece and the wider Mediterranean, and a separate canapé menu covers standing receptions. The Nest Bar pours signature and Greek-inspired cocktails, Champagne, Greek wines, spirits and beer, with a short snack menu.
History and setting
The concept takes its name and its story from the mythical firebird and its rebirth. The interior plays on that theme with materials that recall volcanic fire and scorched ground, and the Nest Bar is presented as a hidden bar inside the venue. The site mentions a nomination for Best New Opening at the 2024 National Restaurant Awards. A second Fenix operates in Mayfair, London, which helps groups that plan events in both cities.
Getting there
