Bookable Garden Cabins
Cosy, fairy-lit wooden cabins you can reserve for birthdays, dates and semi-private parties — your own corner of the garden.
A wood-built secret garden of craft cocktails, specialist beers and rotating street food — hidden beneath the fairy lights on Dale Street.
Tucked away on the corner of Dale Street and Lever Street — right by Chapter One Books — Mala is the kind of place you have to know about. Push past the green archway and the city falls away: a wood-built, outside-inside garden strung with fairy lights, trailing plants and individual cabins.
The look is part rustic retreat, part slightly-madcap tea party — think Wes Anderson with a DIY heart. Pastel booths, retro lampshades and greenery everywhere. It's somewhere to lose an afternoon over coffee, or a whole night over cocktails and a DJ set.
We named it Mala — Hawaiian for "garden" — because that's exactly what we wanted to give Manchester: a little escape, growing quietly in the middle of everything.
Four reasons the locals keep this one to themselves.

A tight, characterful cocktail list mixed fresh — from frozen margaritas to our signature Summer of '21.
Independent pop-up kitchens take over our garden each week, so there's always a new reason to come hungry.
Local DJs, acoustic sets and a madcap, Wes-Anderson-meets-tea-party atmosphere long after sundown.
Genuinely the prettiest bar in Manchester. You walk through the archway and forget you're in the city centre — fairy lights everywhere and the cocktails are unreal.
Stumbled on this hidden gem in the Northern Quarter. Booked a cabin for my birthday and the staff made it so special. The frozen margaritas are dangerous!
Best little secret garden in town. Different street food every time we go, brilliant DJ at the weekend and the Pornstar Martinis keep coming. Our go-to.
