GSG Hospitality will soon be opening Manchester’s Salt Dog Slims which is tucked away on Bow Lane. The bar will be spread across two floors with Salt Dog Slims dive bar on the ground floor and a speakeasy that’s tucked away in the basement of the venue
The award-winning, independent hospitality group confirmed its expansion across the North West earlier this year after having operated in both Birmingham and London and opening and establishing eight different brands in Liverpool.
Manchester seemed like the natural next step for GSG Hospitality and the group has been excited to open a new venture in the city for a number of years.
Salt Dog Slims – the group’s renowned dive bar – will cater for 120 people on the ground floor and is over 3000sqft alone. The venue’s basement speakeasy will cater for a further 80 people. Salt Dog Slims will open first in just a few month’s time, with the hidden speakeasy following before Christmas.
Set in the heart of Manchester, just off Cross Street, Salt Dog Slims will open with edgy interior, accompanied by the bar’s creative cocktails and steins, plus an American diner-inspired food menu.
GSG Hospitality is known for creating unique venues, with each having their own identities. Salt Dog Slims will be no different and its interior, food and drink offering will encompass everything guests need to enjoy a true feel good factor.
Having been working tirelessly on the build of the group’s latest venue, GSG Hospitality has completed a full rip out and installed a new kitchen and bar, with plush new booths being fitted this week. A focus on soft furnishings will follow before the venue is ready to launch.
Matt Farrell, Director of Salt Dog Slim’s, said: “We set our sights on opening a venue in Manchester a while ago and we’re very excited to be opening the doors to Salt Dog Slim’s very soon. Despite the challenges that Covid has created, we’ve pushed on with the build of the venue and behind the scenes we’ve been working on our interesting cocktails and new food menu for when we open.
John Ennis, Director of Salt Dog Slim’s, added: “Salt Dog Slims is famous for providing steins, brines and good times and we’re really looking forward to bringing that same energy to Manchester and welcoming our guests for the first time in the coming months.”
