The bartender dug oily olives out of a jar ( clearly the wrong type) with his fingers and placed them in the drink, there was oil residue all over the martini and when we politely brought it back and mentioned the oil we were told it was because of the olives. After this we had nothing but attitude from this bartender, when the replacement g and t arrived it did not seem to contain any g. we had given this bar another try after a previous dissapointment and will not be back. However, the first time we went a different bartender was lovely and very capable, hopefully this is not the bar but just one guy.

The restaurant unfortunately was a little bit on the empty side when I visited, so go there and fill the place up! As for the bar: I don't really know why it is ranking under the top cocktail bars in Manchester. They do have a lot, I agree to that, but the drinks were at the most of average quality. Not impressed. The food in the restaurant is good and reasonably priced. The restaurant unfortunately was a little bit on the empty side when I visited, so go there and fill the place up!
