‘On the Eighth day God created Manchester’ and last night Manchester saw the birth of The Liquor Store. This brand new bar concept in the heart of the city centre has its Mancunian roots coursing through its veins.

The Liquor Store opens its doors on the corner of Blackfriars Street and The Parsonage, situated just off Deansgate, underneath the Maybrook House building. Bare brickwork, vintage Los Angeles Liquor Store signage and a bar crammed with a collection of the most desirable liquors from around the globe are just some of the features waiting to greet as you enter.

Amongst the subtle nods towards American bar culture the standout theme is the city of Manchester.

One whole wall is dedicated to our cities most loved exports with everyone from Liam & Noel to Nobby Stiles and even Les Dawson watching you as you drink. Passionate service from one of the cities best bar teams delivers a whole host of cocktail creations such as ‘The Stone Rose, ‘Jennings cox Daiquiri and the ‘Reverse Thyme Mojito’.

Quirky, original, creative but inherently stylish. Just like the city itself. The Liquor Store is open throughout the day to quell your caffeine fix, serving light lunches or go straight to it and work your way though the extensive liquor menu (unless you’re heading back to the office!).

This café bar ambience is transformed at 5pm with the help of its Indie Rock’n’Roll and classic Rock Pop soundtrack blend.

To help ease you in to the spirit of the night there’s the ‘Happy Days’ offer of 50% off all drinks* and sharing platters from 5pm til 8pm. It’s intimate atmosphere and late opening hours, seven days a week showcase the true Manchester party spirit.

With plans to transform Sundays in the City with a ‘Bloody Mary Buffet’ from 11am and deals for all industry workers, the Liquor Store is storming Manchester, and we’re ready for it.
