The door staff were very welcoming, as were the staff that greeted us inside. The atmosphere was pleasant, not too over crowded and the place had a feeling of exclusivity and not the slightest bit pretentious as others people have said on this page. I have to say, it is so good how they do not let it get too overcrowded… it makes for a much better experience. Sin, our waiter was very polite, professional and knowledgeable about cocktails. We told him exactly the kind of drink we wanted and he delivered the perfect cocktails based on what we said we fancied. Exactly what you want for a boujee cocktail bar when you don’t really know what the drinks will taste like from looking at the menu. We were on a first date and we both had the best time and are seeing each other again. It makes for a perfect date night and I would definitely come again and would highly recommend this place to anyone who’s after a nice place to drink good cocktails in Manchester. I was a bit dubious at first because they don’t have any of your classic cocktails, but the ones the have on offer are top tier, if you’re having difficulty choosing, then just ask the approachable, knowledgeable staff and they will recommend something you will like. Yes, the drinks are a little pricey, but you get what you pay for, pure quality.. amazing attention to detail and unique to anywhere else in Manchester. It’s a very popular bar, so book in advance as chances are if you attempt a walk at the weekend you will get turned away. I look forward to visiting again. Please pass on the feedback to Sin and give him the recognition he deserves. 🙂 Top bloke

Went there for a change and try some wine. I ended up with cocktails as i really didnt like their 2 independent wines - the cheapest is £30. They kindly offered to taste them. One smelt of vinegar and was very bitter. I ended up with cocktails made of Pisco. It tastes Really nice and the waiter was very knowledgeable. However, £14.50 + 10% discretionary tip is way TOO expensive. I saw people having food and it look nice. Once in a year treat!

This is the place for serious cocktails in Manchester. Their cocktail menu listings are amazing. Extremely creative. Even if you want a classic negroni they will put their own twist on it. The setting is sultry, the lights are very low. The folks behind the bar are magicians at their craft.

This is a one-of-a-kind speakeasy bar experience. I've been to several around the Netherlands, but none came as close as this bar in terms of creativity and uniqueness of the ingredients. I definitely recommend checking this bar out and make sure to make a reservation in advance. Me and my brother were lucky to be seated when we just walked in as many people were in a digital queue, but not responding.

highkey this is not a speakeasy and I don't know why they market themselves as such, calling themselves an artisanal bar would be a lot more accurate. Drinks are nice but frankly not worth how expensive they are. My main issue was our server just seemed uninterested and frankly bothered by our presence and made me and my friends feel unwelcome. After our reservation we thanked them for how good a host they were and how good our experience was (even though that wasn't really true) and they genuinely said "okay, thanks" and walked off. Would probably come here again if the staff didn't treat us like we were a nuisance for quietly sitting there enjoying our time.

Visited mid August - The most relaxing cocktail bar with the most knowledgeable bar tenders I've ever met.

Very relaxing atmosphere, staff first class with a real passion and knowledge about mixology. Some very very innovative cocktails which combined some creative ingredients that on paper you think wouldn't work. Space Raider Gin that had a note of pickled onion but really works, a demo cocktail with Pandan that was delicious, another with yuzu that was mind blowing. Traditional cocktails such as old fashioned with an interesting herbal twist and possibly the best dirty martini we have had make this an absolute star not just in the Manchester bar arena but possibly globally. You could argue that the cocktails are slightly priced above the norm, however the quality, complexity and balance of all of the drinks we had far far justify any cost difference. We will return here in a heartbeat and the level of passion and expertise and professionalism should win this bar awards (if not already).

I have felt genuinely lucky to have come to SiC pretty much since opening. The first night I arrived a few years back - it was my birthday and Nathan & the team welcomed us like friends and literally made my night. The cocktail menu has always been so very creative, with ideas and ingredients not seen anywhere on the scene. Now, with the launch of the new menu - it is another level, such thought, such heart and such knowledge has gone into this. Everyone a unique winner on its own. Even the classics are done extra extra magically. Ps the small plate bites sourced and created themselves are some of the best vegan bites in town. Selfishly I want to keep the best bar in the UK to myself….but I cannot GO - enjoy it very soon, you’ll be so glad you did 🫶 xx

The vibe is cozy, the cocktails are good, and the menu is absolutely an artwork. But I experienced obvious differential treatment compared to other guests. They treated a posh lady seated next to me very well, and they gave free samples to a cute couple next to me and introduced the owner of the bar to them. Imagine this shot: The owner, the bartender, the guy customer--three local men talking happily but one Asian customer next to them got ignored. Not the worst experience but definitely won't recommend.

Edit: One year on almost, not realising a new menu had been brought. This truly is 'the' best bar in Manchester hands down, The amount of detail and work that goes into the menu is crazy even for just the classic cocktails. It's a must visit for drinks. Original:One of the most atmospheric, tasty and polite places in Manchester. A must see to visit, a wide selection of inventive drinks and delicious food in a cozy almost speakeasy type vibe. All I would recommend is booking ahead, being seated at the bar was great especially for seeing the skill of the bartender but definitely could've stayed longer at one of the tables.

Super cool little cocktail bar that has a very dark and rustic interior design and a "record album style" menu that they explain to you in full detail before you are seated. The cocktails are masterpieces of creations that explode with flavour in your mouth and also offer some very tasty small bites of food. I have never experienced a bar quite like this one, from the service at the front door and menu overview to witnessing the artist behind the bar bring your cocktail to life. Our drinks were absolutely delicious and this place was definitely worth the visit! Highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city or trying to go out for the perfect drink!

I had good time here when I came for the Manchester Art Festival last year. Taking the second visit last night it’s as good as I remembered. Start with Dirty Martini followed by Gin-based Track 7 and whiskey-driven Untitled 1. All good. A warm hug from the old friend. That’s the feeling. As for food it’s bar food. Portion is discrete. Taste is decently acceptable. I won’t compare it with formal restaurant since my main intention here is for cocktail. It pays off handsomely.

Really interesting cocktails, and a great vibe. The food was surprisingly nice!! We had one of each dish (buffalo cauliflower, steamed jackfruit buns, focaccia, and mac’n’cini), and all were nice. The buns were slightly underwhelming, but other 3 were AMAZING. The service was really nice, but left us with empty drinks for awhile before checking on us. It’s definitely worth a visit!! I would recommend booking ahead of time, as it’s a small (and popular) place.

I visited this bar last December after being intrigued by the numerous high reviews. The ambience was warm and welcoming, with soft background music playing at a reasonable volume, quiet enough to be bothersome. However, I felt that the space was somewhat cramped. Despite this, the staff were incredibly courteous and willing to assist. I ordered a cocktail, but I cannot remember which one since I'm not a regular cocktail drinker. It was delicious with intense flavours, particularly the coconut. Nevertheless, I was surprised that the drink was tiny and ridiculously expensive. I felt uneasy and thought that I was charged excessively for only a few sips. The toilets could be improved; they were small, not clean, and appeared outdated. Hence, I can't rate it more than four stars.

Food was also 10/10 , had a mocktail as well and although didn’t stand out as much as the cocktails for the price it was good . Everything was very reasonably priced . I highly recommend . All vegan is a big win also ! <3

I dont think I have ever been anywhere so perfect, small enough, intimate, but not quiet. I was on a business trip and looked for craft cocktails nearby my hotel in deansgate, this gem of a place popped up and looked like my kinda place. Man was I right and while I was expecting a great experience, it still wowed me and left me absolutely in love. I showed up without a reservation, I was nervous as I know most small places like this are booked days or weeks in advance, I begged them to let me sit at the bar, and after a little back and Forth internally they said they would accommodate me. Beautiful decor, hip hop playing, great vibe and visuals, I was introduced to Bret, who would be my bartender. What a bartender he was, Ive been to many similar places and he was BY FAR the best bartender I have ever seen, in terms of friendliness, service, and loves his craft. Plus he was fast, efficient and a perfectionist, everything you need in a bar like this. I had 4 different cocktails, all so unique and well constructed, perfectly balanced and the edible garnishes that enhanced and elevated the drinks were all well planned and executed. I was nervous about it all being plant based food/drinks since I was hungry but DEAR GOD, I had the cauliflower wings (buffalo) and Mac&cini bites, I was not expecting them to be great let alone amazing, again left speechless and ate every last bit. Thank you Bret for an unforgettable perfect experience, I hope your management knows how lucky they are to have someone of your skill and craft! You made it an art to watch :)

Great bar to try at least once! The drinks were all given track names, the menus were designed like albums and even the coasters were mini vinyls - very cool! As we didnt have a reservation, we were sat by the bar. We absolutely loved seeing our drinks being made and our bartender was extremely attentive and friendly. All the food options were vegetarian and vegan friendly, too! The melon inspired drink was delicious (9/10), but we had another which contained vanilla and pandan which was a little overwhelming (7.5/10). Still an excellent bar. Would definitely recommend.

Two visits in the space of a week before and after Christmas 2023 and both visits were fabulous. We love the fact that everything at SiC has taken time and effort It is a fantastic example of people who love what they do, dedicating their time to doing it, and serving customers with real care and attention. We will be back and with more friends who we know will fall in love with Speak In Code. Thank you, we loved, loved, loved it!

Amazing place for cocktails. First class service, a broad interesting menu. A mixture of classics with a modern twist and more out there creations. Venue is great too, a chilled speakeasy vibe with low lighting and decent music. Had the boa buns and cauliflower bites from the snacks menu which were also great. Great for date night drinks or quiet drinks with friends and family.

Went here for a couple of pre-meal cocktails as part of a family birthday celebration. We all had a great time! Tried a varied selection of cocktails and they all went down well. Staff were lovely and offered great advice when choosing. Lovely atmosphere, will definitely be coming back again soon!

A nice little cafe, staff are friendly, good selection of games. A bit pricey for what it’s worth. My only big complaint is that there was one man who kind of took over our games trying to explain them. Rather than having someone come over and do the game for us, I’d prefer if we could be left to work it out and if we are struggling then we can have someone come over.
