3. Revolucion De Cuba 

The famous rum bar around town, with plenty of classics done well. If you keep your eye out for the very popular Revs De Cuba happy hour you can find yourselves getting 2 for 1 on those delicious serves. With the Latin-inspired small plates and décor you feel yourself wanting those holiday style cocktails straight away. Feeling a bit peckish too? The menu has a variety of tasty treats from small plates to large dishes that will have you ready for more cocktails straight after. 

4. Arcane 

The cocktail connoisseurs of the city will already know all about Arcane. Situated on South King Street the bar has been making waves for a few years now and is a stunning venue to enjoy some of your favourite drinks. Known as a cosy place for an elegant drink but without being pretentious, Arcane is the perfect fit for a Manchester drinker. The cocktails themselves have some flair, not just your typical drink, so be prepared to try something new and absolutely love it. 

5. Wood & Company 

This classy venue, also on South King Street, is suitable for all occasions and events but what we really want to know about is the cocktails. In a day and age where cocktails seem to get more elaborate in presentation, simple seems to be underrated, not at Wood & Co. Their cocktails focus on the flavour makeup and boy do they pack a punch, get yourselves down there and you will see exactly what we mean.
