Nestled beneath the atmospheric brick arches of Manchester Central, The Spirit of Manchester Distillery is a one-of-a-kind locale where bold, independent spirits meet elegant hospitality. Here, the distillery and cocktail bar coexist under one roof—visitors can watch gin, vodka, rum, and (soon) whisky being produced on-site, and then enjoy those very spirits in thoughtfully crafted cocktails. The cocktail bar—formerly known as Three Little Words—invites you to savor inventive drinks that spotlight house-distilled spirits. From a date night Negroni to signature creations inspired by music themes (like “Spirited Riffs”) featuring bold riffs on familiar classics, the menu is as imaginative as it is delicious. Beyond cocktails, the venue offers food pairings with local produce—think artisan cheeses, fresh sourdough, and focaccia—designed to elevate the drinking experience. Plus, guests can take part in unique distillery experiences: guided tours, gin tastings, gin-making sessions, and even gin-making for two, complete with a bottle to take home. With its elegant yet industrial character, live bar vibes, and immersive spirit-focused offerings, The Spirit of Manchester is perfect for connoisseurs, curious newcomers, and anyone eager for a memorable night out.
