Hudson Social in Manchester

Good drinks, nice atmosphere, friendly staff.

Came here just for a pitstop but really liked it's chill atmosphere. Played a bit of connect4 too!

Came here for pre dinner drinks,stumbled not literally across it on the way to dinner. Welcoming staff,great atmosphere,mix of ages enjoying the evening chatting and playing board games. Will return for a game of connect4 and a cocktail or two.

Fantastic place to bring friends! Got in touch with staff to see if we could reserve a space at their establishment. Not only did they facilitate this, they went out of their way to ensure we were happy and catered for. The facilities are fresh and modern. Hi chairs aplenty! Drink varieties suited all tastes and we were a group of 15+. Offers were brilliant aswell.

Great place for a group social drink and friendly service.

Lovely little bar. Stumbled across this place by accident when looking for a place to drink on a Saturday night that wasn’t absolutely rammed or playing crazy loud music. This place is perfect! Cocktails were decent and 2 for £12. There are board games too which is always a nice addition. Will definitely be going back!

No food, just drinks. Nice chilled out bar, standard beers

Not sure why this wasn’t busy on a friday night because its a great bar with lots of board games to play with friends! £10 deal for a pint + cocktail all night is absolutely worth it, my friends and I really enjoyed ourselves.

Very good service, nice selection of board games - rated atmosphere low as was very quiet. Would be very nice if slightly busier

Stumbled across this place while out with my fiancee, our puppy and our friends. So lucky we did because we had a brilliant night! Such a cool idea having games available to play, and the cocktails were amazing! We will be back next time we come to Manchester!

Located close to Gordon Ramsay's new place. This is an excellent bar to relaxing or enjoy a pre-dinner drink. That's exactly what we did earlier on a Thursday evening and we had a great time there. The bar is bustling inside with customers and staff mixing cocktails but we chose to sit outside as it was a nice evening. Here, the atmosphere is also good and you get to see what's going on on the streets around you. They do a great range of drinks and even have board games inside for those long winter afternoons!

You know what..I loved Hudson social..sat outside in a quiet thorough fare..away from the hustle, bustle..time to catch up with forever friends over a pleasant drink and much laughter

Decent bar various offers on.Good cocktails

We had some happy hour cocktails here. They were good value & delicious. Service was quick! Unfortunately there were several groups of creepy men also having bevvies outside on adjacent tables. They were leering & being weird. I guess the weight of the Patriarchy isn't Hudson Social's fault, but it did dampen our vibe.

Really great and nice staff. Had a lovely chat with them all great pricing for drinks with there 2 for 12 cocktails till 9pm and there beer and a cocktail for £10 deal is awesome value. Highly recommended this price for drinks

Have been coming here for well over a year but was greeted rudely tonight; we were told it was closed, when we enquired further we were told it was last orders, then we were told it closes at 11:30pm… it states that it closes at 12am (which it does because I’ve drank here many times before and it’s even quite busy at the moment, despite a sign saying they now close at 2am on the weekends).

Nice vibe but they add a service charge for drinks even though you're ordering from the bar.

Brilliant cocktail bar. Friendly staff, good prices, not mega loud. Good atmosphere all round

Happy hour good choice of cocktails, proper ones with alcohol which is very much lacking in most places in Manchester. Really good vibe about the place. Xx

We have visited this premises many, many times over the years in its various guises. Firstly, when it was an Italian restaurant and then each of the different bars it has been. This latest version is a cracking place. The staff inside were very helpful and certainly know their stuff. They have a terrific range of well kept beers on and it isn’t badly priced for the city centre place. Best of all, they have a lovely outside seating area with heaters and that’s where we Had our drinks. From here, you feel right in the city and can see all the action around it. Definitely worth seeking out.

It's an excellent little bar. Great cocktails.

Came here for some quick mezcal. Well priced, cool vibe, would come back.

loved the cosmopolitans - probably the best i’ve ever had! lovely staff and great atmosphere

overall great vibes, cocktails are good

Guiness only served from the can. Got very warm in there. Otherwise was alright.

Went in bar and asked what draught lager was available as only 4 pumps at front, was not told about others on rotation(at the back) when asked, but was explained this in my review response, along with being told I should have checked the menu for full list!, which I would now suggest you do when visiting, as we felt this was more a cocktail bar..

Nice place for a drink, indoor and outdoor seating

I was invited for a group end of summer party. A little bit hidden in the city centre, but very cool with lots of places to seat. Music is moderate, not like some places in Dean's Gate. (I think I'm getting old....)

Some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet and they’re always working hard to make sure everyone is happy! We go in weekly and love it

Freaking amazing Craft beer, aswome music and super friendly atmosphere, would recommend to anyone 👌

Thank you to Lewis and the team at Hudson Social for their excellent collaboration on my corporate event. They were very attentive and generous and ultimately helped deliver a great event. I fully recommend this venue for private events!

Nice spot, bar staff were great and very friendly cocktails were really nice and the selection on the two for £12 was really good. Would happily go again.

Great service, great cocktails. 2 cocktails for £12 before 7pm on any day. Bar staff very helpful and friendly.

Getting busy. Friendly team who made a great cocktail.

Used to be called something else. Nice bar and staff friendly. Outdoor seating with heaters. Good cocktails

Hidden gem. Best bar in Manchester. Ambience, good music, great drinks and the staff are amazing. Guaranteed to enjoy a few cocktails here. Glad you reopened :-) awesome.

Nice cherry long island. Great music.

Liv and Lewis were absolute gems, great place and great vibes!!! Will be back every week x

We came with a big group of 16 and were amazed with the service from start to finish! The staff were so accommodating and went out of their way to make us feel welcome, including providing free drinks and candles for our friends 22nd birthdays! Lovely vibe to the place, couldn't recommend more!

Nice little bar with a good selection of drinks and cocktails.

always feel welcome and thought of in this place! :)

Friendly bartenders, good music and nice decor. The cocktails are varied enough for you to find something you like no matter your taste. Definitely recommend!

Very nice and nice for a chilled drink

Was OK I was drinking beer everyone else was on cocktails service was slow because cocktails take too much time

Good small bar with a diverse cocktail selection

Good drinks, bit of an older crowd

Great staff and excellent kir royales

Does what it says on the Tin - beer & cocktails!

Fab evening in a great location. Table pre booked and all ready when we got there. Really friendly staff who looked after us all night. Made a great mocktail for the pregnant one of our group. Can always rely on vesper for great eve of drinks and good vibes

Cocktails are shocking, and are of the size of a shot glass!

Brilliant little bar hidden away off King St. Great for a chilled out drink.

To be honest, not the sort of place I would usually frequent but we went here for work Christmas drinks. Small bar which feels cramped once a few people are inside; the layout also makes it tricky to get to the bar itself as you are constantly having to push past people who are without tables. Drinks are good though, wide choice of cocktails and wine, draft lagers are well kept. The music was too load for me (at 5pm) but I'm probably not the target audience. Reasonable pricing for central Manchester.

Awesome service and friendly staff.

Need to sell something to nibble on

The only thing the staff of this bar excel in is rudeness and arrogance. They took great exception to being asked for a non alcoholic cocktail, being obtuse and condescending. Fortunately we checked the bill which seemed excessive and discovered they had charged £30.00 for a small glass of Prosecco. No apology was given.

Lovely staff, great vibe and brilliant drinks selection

Trying to be something its not! Very small selection of cocktails.

Great cocktail bar. Highly recommended...

Love Vesper. Always go before a meal for their drink offers and quaint atmosphere.

Great venue and cocktails door staff make you feel very welcome and safe which can't be said for a lot of places in manchester.

Beautiful place to relax and enjoy a cocktail or bottle of Champagne. Just a shame the weather wasn’t better so we could have enjoyed the outside terrace ! I’ll definitely be back!

Good choice of cocktails , staff willing to help!

Excellent cocktails and amazing customer service from James and Ant. Highly recommended for everyone visiting Manchester.

Overall experience here was average. Atmosphere was very good, service was somewhat lacklustre and cocktails didn’t ‘wow’ us. However WARNING to those looking online: What brought this review down to 2 star is the blatant misleading information on their website that states “Cocktail Club. 2 for £12 everyday until 7pm”. Upon ordering two cocktails at around 6pm and checking the Cocktail Club applies the waitress simply said ‘Nope not on those, need to look for the cocktails with the asterisks on the menu’. Nowhere online does it state the Cocktail Club is exclusive to certain cocktails and there was no apology which was very disappointing. I raised with one of the waiters as we left who responded ‘We have a team working on the website because it’s a mess’. As a result of the misleading information and unenthused service we will not be returning.

Love this bar the atmosphere is really relaxing after a long day shopping.

My new favourite bar for cocktails. Friendly staff and great atmosphere

Really underrated bar, very good atmosphere, good music, not too crowded at the weekend and has a wonderful outside area for good weather. Also really well priced drinks and the cocktails taste amazing, definitely recommend Vesper 🍸

Seems to be a good place for a cocktail. Was quiet when we went in but it was getting late. Good range to choose from.

Chilled out cocktail bar. Lovely choice and relaxed

Cool and relaxed. Nice bar staff

Love this place ! Cocktails are amazing and love atmosphere

Love everything here. Best drinks! Great service!

Wonderful cocktails and service, professionally made and fair prices. It had a nice, relaxed setting with great music, I’ll definitely be back. The only negative thing I can say is there lack of mocktails for a cocktail house. There’s only 3 options of mocktails my sister had to choose from and she for allergies couldn’t get two of the drinks (but this probably could have been acomedated on request we didn’t ask). With what seems to be over 20 choices of cocktails it just seems like the mocktails list could be expanded on.

Elegant and modern cocktail bar. Great atmosphere and drinks although slightly overpriced for its size.

Upscale cocktail bar. Some decent offers if you go at the right time.

Great range of cocktails and drinks lovely bar just off the beaten track well worth a visit.

Didn't try cocktails but the cider is one of the best I've had

was planning on giving this bar a 5 star but then upon checking my bank balance I've realised that we were overcharged by an extra £24!!! wish I checked more carefully when paying the bill

Very nice cocktails, I enjoyed a coffee based martini with a piece of popcorn floating on the top! I'd go back for another.

What a great bar highly recommended you visit

Smart decor & a cool vibe. Proper cocktail bar

Wonderful cocktails great atmosphere

The cocktails are expertly made, friendly service too. Music was not great. However the toilet situation is abysmal. One toilet for ladies and disabled people? Not great guys.

Excellent cocktails and great staff

Nice cocktail bar. Drink not too expensive. Friendly bar staff.

Great find, cool music and nice atmosphere. Really good prices and nice staff 😊

A+ staff. Thanks. Did a corporate photography job there and the guys behind the bar were really helpful, especially the GM. Nice place...and lovely canapés too. Cheers.

Fantastic staff, these guys really know their stuff and are welcoming and friendly. Drinks list is great and cocktails are well on point. Definitely recommended.

Been there a few times now and it is always a lovely experience. The staff are happy to be there and always try to do their best to bring excellent customer satisfaction. I have already brought some friends there and they also loved it. If you want a tasty cocktail : this place is spot on!

Very nice cocktail bar, warm staff.

Always liked this hidden little bar for a late drink.

Loved the cocktail happy hour and the ambience.

Great service and a good range of cocktails with an interesting choice of music!

Very smart venue for a cocktail or light beer, close to many offices and equal walk to the main rail stations

This place used to be Liquorice. Apparently, it's still the same owners but they've had a re-vamp. I quite like the new interior but not sure I prefer it to the old Liquorice. The menu is really similar with some additions it seems. The staff seem the same and just as lovely as ever.

Lovely cocktails, and lovely staff,very accommodating when needing a bar snack! Thank you

Since the change of ownership and name this place is not half as good as it used to be. This was never a place for rowdy drunken groups but it seems to have gone downhill in spectacular fashion. It's only saving grace is the cocktail menu, which is the only remnant of what this bar used to be. This was my go to place in Manchester for cocktails. Sadly it's not the case any more. I would choose Opium at Great Northern over this place any day of the week.

Really enjoyed it here, especially the espresso martini’s 🍸

Good happy hour cocktails. The barman will do sugar free options if you ask
