Licklist Guide to Fabulous Cocktail Bars in Manchester

Is there anywhere livelier than Manchester?

 

Whether you are in the mood for a fancy cocktail or looking to keep it real with a simple concoction. Manchester is a city that is known to have a community of excellence in taste. We’ve help you decide where you will be enjoying your next cocktail in Manchester;

 

It’s time to treat yourself, there is something in the human mind that when shown a cocktail menu we refuse to pick the same cocktail we enjoyed the last time. It’s all about being adventurous, the cocktail menu is more than just a menu, it’s a bucket list! We always find ourselves either picking one of the three; Cocktail I have never had before, Cocktail with a name as long as a working week or Cocktail that’s impossible to drink due to the volcanic eruption it displays right in front of us. Kid in a sweetshop sort of stuff, it really is and we are all victims.

 

What we have done to make your life a whole lot easier is put together a long list of all the best Cocktail Bars in Manchester. Find one that has the menu you are looking for and the atmosphere to accompany. A cocktail is not a one off treat, it is one that should be enjoyed whenever you feel like it. So, who’s going to be first to finish that bucket list?
