    Really enjoyed the whole experience trying to find the place and stepping through the fridge door in the takeaway.We didn’t eat there so can’t comment on the food but the service was great.I thought it was a little too dark but that might be me just being old. Overall would recommend trying.

    A very nice experience. The bartenders are very talented and are able to make off menu cocktails on request. The only draw back was the music was louder than it needed to be.

    Absolutely fantastic place. Lovely look, lovely drinks, AMAZING staff and great vibe. Would’ve been five out of five had the music been a couple of notches lower.

    The staff are such an asset to this bar. Always give a warm and friendly greeting. It’s very cosy good tunes and the drinks are great. Best bar in Manchester as far as I’m concerned !

    Took my boyfriend to this hidden gem was an absolute delight! Tucked discreetly away, this secret cocktail bar offered an atmosphere brimming with charm and intrigue. From the moment we stepped inside, we felt transported into a stylish, intimate speakeasy, complete with a relaxed yet sophisticated vibe and thoughtfully curated music. The highlight of the night was undoubtedly him discovering his new favourite cocktail, the “Vice and Vanity.” Beautifully presented with an elegant flair, it was perfectly sweet and sophisticated, creating an unforgettable taste experience. The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, making us feel welcomed and special throughout our visit. This secret cocktail bar is ideal for a memorable date night or simply unwinding after a long day. We can’t stop talking about the “Vice and Vanity,” and we’re already planning our next visit. Highly recommended for anyone looking for exceptional cocktails in an enchanting atmosphere.

    Great vibe, service and drinks. Greatly appreciated and recommended. No food, not an option, wasn’t expected or wanted just had to input and don’t want that to count against them.
