Cocktails in the City returned to Manchester for a showcase of mixing, swirling, and sipping, exhibiting the newest talent from bars across the city.

Notable mentions: Dusk ’til Pawn (speakeasy-style cocktail heaven), Cloud 23 (best views in the city), Epernay (classiest cocktails this side of Manhattan) and Whim Wham Cafe (vintage-inspired, gin-addled drinking den).
