The sell-out event of 2015 is back in the iconic settings of Old Granada Studios on May 19 – 20th.
Grab your towel, grab your clubs, grab your glad rags; the stars and celebrities of Manchester’s thriving bar scene are coming together to compete for best cocktail, best bar and best experience and they are going all out!
With 24 of Manchester’s finest battling it out, who will take the awards in 2016? Will emerging new talent such as El Gato Negra or Cottonopolis steal the crown from the winners of 2015, Mr Coopers, Cane and Grain and Elixir Tonic and Treats?
Already confirmed, the Playa Del Santa Teresa, an urban beach installment courtesy of tiki hideaway HULA, UV Junk Yard Golf Course and a multi-sensory Tattu Parlour.
