From the regulars

★★★★★ “Prettiest bar in Manchester”
“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.” — Hannah R., Google

★★★★★ “A proper hidden gem”
“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!” — Jamie T., Tripadvisor

★★★★★ “Our go-to”
“Best little secret garden in town. Different street food every time we go, brilliant DJ at the weekend and the Pornstar Martinis keep coming.” — Priya M., Google

★★★★★ “Escape from the city”
“Exactly what it promises — an escape from the city, within the city. We came for one drink and stayed for four. The cabins are so cosy.” — Daniel O., Google

★★★★★ “Magic after dark”
“Even better at night when all the fairy lights come on. Felt like we’d been let in on a secret. Lovely staff, great cocktails, fab vibe.” — Sofia L., Tripadvisor
