This is a cocktail bar posing as a launderette, and I'm glad I got to experience it. It isn't the kind of place you'd visit every week, but it's worth experiencing at least once. You enter through a washing machine, finding yourself in an impressively large cocktail bar. The cocktails are all themed around conspiracy theories, and are a lot of fun. And the staff are fantastic. I personally found the cocktails a little pricey, but they are good quality, and come with a side of theatrics too.

I’m really not sure why this has such high ratings. We came on Valentines Day. Zero atmosphere, cocktails were too sweet/way too gimmicky- the only interesting thing is entering through the vending machine, and that’s the first 30 seconds. Wouldn’t bother tbh

The cocktails were nice The waitresses were accommodating and friendly If you don’t like the cocktail, it is wiped and you can try another. They have a secret menu too which was good Every cocktail has a deeper meaning and they come and share the story of it with you

A five-star experience. This is mixology at its finest—more than just throwing ingredients into a shaker. Every cocktail comes with a narrative, presented at your table with flair rather than simply placed on the table. Expect creativity, theatre, and flavours you won’t find in your average bar. Drinks are priced around £15, and you’re paying for more than just a drink; you’re getting an experience. If you’re after cheap and familiar, stick to a Wetherspoons. If you want something unique, this is the place. The DJ sets the perfect vibe, and the atmosphere is spot on. Standouts for me were the Alien Abduction, Castreudau, and Polybius, while Elvis Is Not Dead didn’t quite hit the mark. With the endless world of conspiracies as inspiration, their future menu has huge potential. Also, credit where it’s due—keeping the service charge at 10% while London hikes it up with no added value is a solid move. Expect to spend around £40 per head—well worth it for a memorable pre-dinner stop. I’ll be back next time I’m in Manchester.

We visited your bar after seeing great reviews and wanted to try ourselves. The drinks were amazing and we loved the atmosphere and venue. But what stood out above all else was the staff! Everyone we encountered was so lovely, patient and knowledgeable. Not just with our table, I could overhear all staff being engaging with all guests. I work in hospitality myself and it’s so refreshing to see! Eleanor was our server and she was a particular highlight! She was wonderful. Helpful and attentive without being overbearing. My girlfriend is autistic and Eleanor was so patient at helping her pick something she would like, and then when she didn’t enjoy, swiftly swapped it out for something else. She even gave us a few free shots to apologise for the (slight) wait on drinks to arrive. You have a real star on your hands!

Washhouse is a hidden gem in Manchester that offers far more than its novelty façade might suggest. While its quirky laundrette-themed entrance may initially give the impression of a gimmick, the bar itself is a meticulously curated, high-end cocktail experience. At its heart, Washhouse is a celebration of creativity and craftsmanship, featuring a menu of cocktails inspired by popular conspiracy theories. Each drink incorporates unique, imaginative elements that set this bar apart from the rest of Manchester’s cocktail scene. The staff at Washhouse are a particular highlight, providing exceptional service that elevates the entire experience. Attentive, knowledgeable, and approachable, they are well-versed in the intricate details of the cocktails and their ingredients. Our server struck the perfect balance between professionalism and friendliness, offering thoughtful recommendations tailored to our tastes while maintaining a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Presentation is where Washhouse truly excels. Each cocktail is a visual masterpiece, carefully designed to reflect its individual theme. From the ethereal effects of dry ice to minimalist touches such as branded ice blocks, the attention to detail is extraordinary. These creative flourishes ensure that every drink is not only a delight to taste but also a feast for the eyes. What truly sets Washhouse apart, however, is its team. The staff’s professionalism and enthusiasm are matched by the passion of their manager, who clearly takes pride in delivering an outstanding product and experience. In a competitive market where many establishments fall short, Washhouse stands out as a benchmark for service, innovation, and presentation. I wholeheartedly recommend Washhouse to anyone seeking an unforgettable cocktail experience in Manchester.

Mia was very helpful and understanding. She came over as I was only halfway through reading the menu and they completely understood that there was a lot of information I was trying to get through. Then when she came back I chose the first option anyway. I'm a slow reader. The DJ in the bathroom was an unexpected vibe. The cocktale I had tasted like honey every sip which was kind of crazy. Great place to go with friends for your first time or multiple. Giving you the opportunity to try a different cocktail as they all look and taste equally as cool as eachother. But the price means you're only picking one, son. The descriptions they gave for each drink was very fun. Definitely a vibe I've had no where else

This is the third time that me and my girlfriend have been to the Washhouse and every single time has been amazing. We had three cocktails each and they all tasted so good. The service is amazing, and they are all extremely helpful. Well worth the money. I personally always ask one of the servers to choose a 'surprise' drink for me and on this occasion, it came with some chilli's on the side. Stupidly, I ate one of the chilli's that came as decor. Never again. The server got us some extra water, and even some milk but nothing could suffice. Needless to say, I survived this time. 100000/10

We recently had the absolute pleasure of visiting The Wash House in Manchester to celebrate a truly special occasion—our 20th wedding anniversary—and let me just say, this is hands-down the best speakeasy cocktail bar we have ever visited! Flying in all the way from Dublin just to experience this hidden gem was completely worth it. From the moment we arrived, the whole evening was unforgettable. The entrance itself sets the tone—it’s so cleverly disguised that finding your way inside feels like an adventure! Once inside, you’re immediately enveloped by an incredible atmosphere. The vibe is electric—The Wash House manages to be both intimate and buzzing at the same time. The space was packed, and it’s clear why. The cocktails were on another level, unbelievably creative and delicious. Each drink felt like a work of art, crafted with both skill and flair. Adding to the magic was the quirky touch of a live DJ performing... in the toilets! Yes, you read that right. It’s little touches like this that make The Wash House so unique and unforgettable. But what really made our night exceptional was the outstanding service. A huge shout-out to our host, Annyce, who went above and beyond to make us feel special. She was warm, welcoming, and genuinely cared about making our anniversary celebration perfect. If you’re looking for an extraordinary cocktail experience, The Wash House is it. We can’t wait to come back and relive the magic. Thank you, The Wash House, for making our milestone celebration truly one of a kind!

Visited this unusual bar after the Peter Kay gig. Wanted to see it after reading other reviews. It's unusual, entering via a secret door. Once in it was buzzing; great atmosphere and excellent service. That service started with them holding our booking, even though we ran late from the arena. The cocktail menu is extensive, and they are more expensive than some other places. But for an occasional visit, that's fine. Make sure you check out the hidden room upstairs, and find the slide !

Visited this bar with my partner on a visit to manchester. I was so excited but was left extremely disappointed. I struggled to hear the staff and we received the incorrect drinks too. We tried 6 drinks (2free because they weren't ours) in total and it’s sad to say none of them tasted nice, both tables either side of us also didn’t look impressed with the taste. My partner will literally drink anything going but not these. The interior of the bar and the presentation of the drinks is all they have going here for me. Extremely overpriced too. Real shame.

Very interesting and unique bar. Treated my friends to a couple of drinks and we were not disappointed. It's NOT one of those places where they put on a show and then disappoint with the drinks; they were very well made, thought out and special. A really nice + fun location if you want something different. It's also a bigger place, so you can stay and have a bit of privacy + good conversations. Service was attentive and explained the vegan options as well (some cocktails will have egg/milk obviously). A bit pricey for Manchester I'm assuming (around 15 £ for a cocktail) BUT very reasonably priced for what they serve you and offer. Totally worth the experience. 10/10 would recommend!

Secret cocktail bar just up from Printworks in Manchester. It's a great little bar you access through a fake laundry frontage (you have to book in advance). The cocktails are all very original and well made...the staff are all really helpful and explain every drink to you in detail when it comes to the table. If I had any minor gripe it is that the music is a bit generic and there are only 2 or 3 very basic bar snacks...I think a small bar menu would work really well! Ps - ask about the secret slide 😂

Very overhyped, the cocktails were very mediocre and the atmosphere didn’t match the conspiracy theory theme. Feels like a very disjointed “speakeasy” compared to others I’ve been to, if you have a theme stick with it!! Once you step through the vending machine it’s then a conspiracy theory bar but without decor or atmosphere to carry it through. Didn’t appreciate the server trying to push us to order shots when we just wanted to look at the menu and decide on a cocktail. What could be an awesome venue was let down by some very basic things.

Absolute waste of time and money. It feels very much like a trendy thing to do, a place to say you've been. The wait for cocktails when they were ordered was unacceptable. I ordered a second almost as soon as I got my first and ended up cancelling it because the wait was too long. It definitely derailed out evening as we were looking forward to enjoying a few good quality cocktails after a nice meal out. I'd definitely avoid this place if you want to enjoy good quality cocktails at a reasonable price. You're being overcharged for theatrics and little substance here.

The menu, the hidden menu, the hidden Japanese bar linked to this. It’s such an adventure. I’m returning again and again, there’s so much more to explore. I can only recommend to visit WASHHOUSE and see where it takes you. Also, the service is more than brilliant! The staff takes this to a next level. Not to mention the drinks, they are as tasty as they are interesting to look at. Often come with some extra adding to the experience of the drink.

The bartending world is in turmoil, and conspiracy theories are emerging... I visited this playful bar last year. There was a washing machine at the entrance. The laundry chute was pushed open, and a staircase went straight up to the second and third floors. Only then did the bar appear. This month’s theme is “Conspiracy Theories.” The wine list lists more than 20 pages of famous classic conspiracy theories. The “Bermuda Triangle” I ordered is made with tequila, coconut milk, and rum. , so sweet, no wonder it causes mysterious disappearances 🤣 The waiter asked me to drop a small black object on the wooden box into the wine glass. He pressed a small button on the side of the wooden box, and the whole drink began to rotate. The boat is missing in the Bermuda Triangle, he explained without blushing and out of breath. Laughing to death. However, the essence of Cocktail is to convince people with wine. No matter how many gimmicks there are, if the temperature is wrong and the proportion is out of proportion, without the sparkle that the alcohol should have when the alcohol collides with each other, it will be just a puddle of wine at best.

Went here as we were looking for a different experience. This certainly met the criteria in a very good way. Entering the bar through a vending machine and the conspiracy theory cocktails certainly gave this place an unexpected novelty factor which we really enjoyed. The service was outstanding and the staff knew their facts when it came to the drinks. Would highly recommend to anyone that wants to make a memorable evening. There are only snacks available here as it is primarily a cocktail bar.

Based behind an apparently abandoned launderette, this top floor cocktail bar offers a range of conspiracy inspired cocktails. The vibe is cool, dark green.. speakeasy....low level lighting over the tables, friendly informative staff....and above all the drinks...they are beautifully presented..with a fun backstory...and taste superb. For fun, try the Nrssie, or the birds aren't real, the Illuminati...or the hidden menu...on the back page with secret password..for their house cocktails.This is definitely worth a visit anytime you are here..btw..order the retro crisps...you literally get a large bag of assorted retro salty treats.... fantastic!

After we got let inn through a hidden door in the laundry room we got a very warm welcome from a highly service oriented and charming bartender named Rafe. Rafe served us some fantastic cocktails that both looked like a piece of art and tasted delicious. While serving us he explained in detail what we where getting and the history behind the cocktail. We were very well looked after throughout the whole stay and will definitely come back next time we are in Manchester and hope to run into Rafe again ☺️ A must visit in Manchester of you love high end cocktails 🤩

Was served by Ellen and she was amazing. Her knowledge and smile really set the note for the evening.

Based on reviews, I booked the table at The Washhouse, and it was definitely worth its hype. The novelty factor alone makes it a must-visit at least once. From the very beginning, the experience was well organized, the Top secret menu 😅, with our tables available right on time. The ambiance inside was lovely, filled with quirky and mysterious charm that added to the overall experience. The cocktails were amazing our group of four all enjoyed our drinks thoroughly. However, I found the cocktails to be a bit on the sweeter side for my personal taste. Not much snacks.. just crisps n olives Overall, The Washhouse delivers on its reputation with its unique concept and great drinks. It's a fantastic spot to enjoy a night out with friends.

Unbelievable!!! This is such a great experience. We started my fiancés 40th celebrations here and were not disappointed. The drama that comes along with the cocktails is just exceptional. We loved every minute of our time here! Highly recommended.

Exceptional service and exceptional drinks! we did make a reservation beforehand for a large group on Halloween. 🎃 so this review is a little bit late but better late than never! Ordered a wide selection of cocktails, also located to some of my dietary requirements with the drinks. Fun places with friends, quick service and lovely atmosphere.

Fantastic speakeasy style cocktail bar just off Shudehill. The atmosphere is great and the bar has a great premise setup based around conspiracy theories. Service and atmosphere was absolutely top notch and the cocktails are good. Definitely will be a return visitor.

always love visiting the washouse! The drinks are so incredible, I love how every drink has a different story ( this time conspiracies) their new menu of drinks involved different conspiracy theories which I found very cool The staff are so lovely and attentive and always want you to have a lovely time . Which I always find so lovely and having a good chat with them . As much as the drinks are on the pricey side with around £15 a drink . I don’t mind on the one off with how cool the drinks are :) 👍🏽

Tried to cancel my booking via a link through the email. But it wouldn’t work. Couldn’t get through on the phone either. Charged £25 per person regardless with no way to communicate with anyone. Disappointed to say the least

The atmosphere was great, the theme was interesting and entertaining, but when it comes to overall price and what to expect, it isn’t worth it. Or it’s worth it for a one-off experience. It’s hard to justify shots that cost over six pounds each and fifteen pound cocktails that were okay. We left early because it didn’t really live up to our expectations. Overall, if you have the money it’s a great experience, but if spending over 20 pounds per person for a cocktail and a shot is too much then this isn’t a place I would recommend.

Took my girlfriend here as a nice little night out, we looked at the reviews and the majority was good, however we read one read really negative comment. We decided to check it out our selves, that one comment couldnt be more wrong. The staff was really welcoming, a server called rafe helped us familarise our selfs with the drinks. Only have good things to say. WE ARE GOIMG AGAIN!

We booked a table for Rooftop and I can totally recommend this place. Food, amazing, drinks amazing and the view was quite nice. Of course, the biggest plus for us was that they are doggie friendly.

I cannot rate this place highly enough. The drinks are good, the prices are fair, the seating is comfortable, the service is friendly. This is on my must-come-again list for when I return to Manchester. I'd recommend the scratchings as well. They're lovely and crunchy but don't fight you either like some other scratchings do.

A little disappointed they didn't have some of their stronger/more unusual beers but otherwise a good experience.
