what a hidden gem. corr if you like cocktails and don't know what to have you can just ask the bar staff and they will make something just for you, how special is that? table service, and fit guys bonous us girls love it.

I don't usually do this, but I am so excited about the cocktails in this place that I feel that I have to tell everyone! They were great! Original, tasty and quite cheap, considering the quality and the comparative prices in Chorlton.
It's a shame that people seem to disagree with the other reviews of this bar, because I whole-heartedly agree with them, except that 'pretty lush' is such an understatement!

super cool bar - good service - wicked mohito's
serve beer for non cocktail kids.

Proof of Chorlton’s increasing gentrification is this chic and sophisticated establishment. There’s plenty of places which say they’re cocktail bars, but basically aren’t. This one most definitely is.

Proof serves up magnificent cocktails, professionally prepared, from an extensive list. Sip them, enjoy them and let the eclectic sounds from a dedicated team of Manchester DJs set you up for a good night.

Folks for Chorlton, as some one who lives here it brings alittle class to what your drinking, but if it ever gets busy you will have problems getting a seat and for the prices of coctails if i am going to get dressed up , town and the swanky bars will always win hands down. Good attempt from a business sense but cant see the owners moving off into the sun any time soon.
