Lifestyle
Bon Vivant
French bistro-style bar and restaurant on Thistle Street. Not a new kid on the block but still one of our faves. The perfect candlelit vibe for a mate or date night.
Hone Pilates
Based on Howe St in the centre, Hone’s studio is a perfectly aesthetic sanctuary. Believe the reformer hype and don’t underestimate the burn!
Fava
Delicious Greek kitchen with a decent wine selection and a 10/10 Greek salad. Minutes away from The McEwan in Haymarket, the perfect excuse for a local stroll.
Felicitie
Glasgow-based Coffee Van, based out of a repurposed WW2 refugee transport vehicle. Offering a metropolitan blend of specialty coffees, baked goods, and fresh flowers, they can often be seen in the fab and groovy marketplaces of Glasgow and are currently in talks with Moda, Holland Park to host a regular weekend pitstop for our new residents (with puppuccinos for our canine companions!)
Shilling Brewing Company
A cracking offering of food and drink in a beautiful example of classic Glasgow architecture, with an impressive selection of non-alcoholic drinks for those looking to mix it up!
Tabac
Our first recommendation for anyone looking to experience the Glasgow nightlife. They consistently host the slickest DJ’s under cool ambient lighting and offer the best Negroni in Glasgow to boot!
The Scotia Bar
Glasgow’s oldest pub, opened in 1792 and still going strong! All of Glasgow’s greatest characters are to be found here, both in front and behind of the bar!
Kirkstall Brewery Tap
The new Kirkstall Brewery tap room at the Tetley Brewery. Pints and pies – say no more!
Raw Coffee
New independent coffee shop that has opened on Mill Hill. They roast their own beans and you can even get a cup of Yorkshire tea for £1!
Honey
Vintage Clothing Store - located on the balcony of the Corn Exchange, Honey is the new store from Amy Garth who studied fashion design at Leeds Arts University!
Maki & Ramen
An exciting new opening for Leeds with 8hr broths, sushi, soft shell crab and Mochi for dessert. The bang of the gong upon entering is a cute touch. (side note, resident discount hopefully pending!)
WellNest
A supportive community and studio in Kirkstall offering regular events and workshops such as yoga, massage and soundbaths.
Loki Wines
Wine bar and shop where you self-serve your pour... dangerous and delicious with some great quality wines from all over the world. Check out Loki in Edgbaston, Solihull and the city centre!
Ikon Gallery + Yorks Café
Internationally acclaimed contemporary art venue located in Brindley Place, Birmingham, minutes away from The Mercian. The equally stunning Yorks is just next door for the perfect coffee stop, whether you’re visiting the gallery or not!
Boston Tea Party
Lovely brunch spot in Edgbaston, not far from our latest neighbourhood Moda, Loudon’s Yard.
Yellowave Beach Sports Venue
Yellowave in Brighton is an exciting and dynamic sports and leisure venue on the beachfront, primarily focused on beach sports and outdoor activities such as volleyball. There’s also a great cafe inside and Sea Lane’s further up to road for a great day out!
Tapestry
Newly opened restaurant on Church Road with great food and gorgeous design. Designed with sharing in mind, it’s the perfect date night spot. Also just as good for an after-work drink or weekend brunching!
Komedia
In Brighton is a vibrant arts and entertainment venue that offers a diverse range of performances and events from comedy Shows and film screenings to theatre and comedy shows.
Blank Street Coffee
Famous for their Matcha creations, this place probably dominates your socials if you follow anyone near one. Located in the US and London, we’re also lucky enough to have two Blank Street’s in MCR. The perfect summer drink which hits just as hard as your morning oat flattie... Try the Iced White Chocolate Matcha and thank us later...
Onda Pasta Bar
After their pop-up success last year, Onda have opened permanent residents at Circle Square, Manchester, serving the best pasta and tiramisu in the city. Don’t leave Manchester without trying here!
Skof by Toms Barnes
Legendary chef and protégée of Simon Rogan, Tom Barnes’, just opened the doors to his first restaurant in NOMA – Skof.
BOXPARK
Liverpool recently welcomed the first BOXPARK located outside of London. Located in the Baltic Triangle, we’ve been loving our new neighbour and can’t wait to watch the Euros here all summer long.
Shakespeare North Playhouse
Voted Theatre Building of the Year 2023 for very good reason. You can watch all the best Shakespeare plays here - with a modern twist - such as The Tempest, Twelfth Night and Midsummer Night’s Dream. But not like you know them. A great day out when you fancy a bit of culture and a proper laugh!
