This speakeasy cocktail spot is a hidden bar inside a launderettes! Once you find it (it looks like a launderette) you'll see a phone on the side, pick it up and tell them you are here to wash some dirty clothes and they'll point you in the right direction ;) you can book a table too but need to ring and say you want to wash some clothes. Amazing cocktails await!

Free entry (or donation) but it's filled with planes, trains and automobiles! Often interesting installations on. Also a lovely cafe. Manchester was the birthplace of the train and heart of our industrial revolution after all.
