Corbieres Bar — Restaurant in Manchester

happened to stumble across this bar while with a friend. corbieres is such a unique experience. one feels as though inside of a salt cave someplace warm, a rarity in manchester. for a bar with a back alley entrance and located in the basement, it was brimming with people singing along to retro songs (they have a jukebox!), enjoying their free pizzas and wacky cocktails. tuesday through friday, 4pm-8pm, they have a “spend £5 and get a free pizza” with toppings of your choice. we got 2 vegan pizzas - the margherita just tasted of nutritional yeast, but the garlic pizza redeemed them. the negroni shimmered in the dim red light and was so sweetly fragrant. the smiling, swift barstaff made the 40 minute wait for our...

A little hidden gem, right in the middle of Manchester city centre, right under the nose of all the big bars and restaurants.

Very nice hidden gem of a bar.

Heard about this through a friend with the yarn "there's a bar that looks like the inside of a human ear and has the best jukebox in Manchester".

Definitely...
