The Liquor Store — Restaurant in Manchester

Have been twice in two months. Manchester themed decor with lovely comfy booths. Cocktail menu is lovely, with some inventive choices. First time visiting was after work with friends and the barman was extremely friendly but the place was very quiet so he had more time for a personable touch. I personally had the cocktail in picture, which was pleasant. Based on the first experience, we came back a second time, as a group of 5. There was a roaming waitress who was amazing and one barman was extremely nice and had such a fun attitude it was impossible not to be happy when talking to him, however, the other barman (with dreadlocks) was extremely rude, and more interested in joking about with other staff and being overbearing. He also refused one male in our group a share cocktail stating we didnt enough people? When questioned, he refused to actually answer why and walked away. The toilet attendant apparently wasn't wearing footwear, which is very bizarre. Upon leaving, the outside area had filled with cigar smokers and people discussing using coke which gave it a sleazy vibe upon leaving which you don't feel inside as the vibe inside is very cool. Overall, nice place, and when quiet is great, cracks in service appear...

Visited last night and ordered their cigarettes and alcohol cocktail which was really nice. However, the bartender was really rude to me. I saw when making the cocktails they put a lot of ice and I have sensitive teeth so asked if I could have less ice looking at the glass filled with ice on the bar. He said that the glass on the bar wasn't mine and scoffed at me. I then said I wanted no ice if possible (seeing as he hadn't yet put any ice in my glass) and he explained that the glass would be half full. I said that's fine but he looked annoyed. He then further said I cant have a garnish because the garnish would usually sit on the ice. I said that's fine and took the cocktail. Honestly wouldn't go back here after this experience. Made it out that my request was a big deal and hassle. Such a shame as the...

I did put a review in on another site but I thought I’d get my Google one in, this was from a few months ago. This place was absolutely amazing and I really mean it, one of the best bars I’ve ever been to. The music was spot on and the decor was amazing. It really did embody Manchester at its finest. The bartender who opened up was class and quite hilarious and when the other ones turned up they were just the same. The cocktail menu is literally perfect and the ghostbuster sharer is just so worth the price it’s unreal. The only note I could make is that they don’t do food, if they did…. It could be a contender for the place place in Manchester but I understand it’s a bar not a restaurant and they don’t wanna expand by building a kitchen and...
