Hawksmoor Manchester

Our Take

Legendary steakhouse with a seriously underrated bar program perfect for sophisticated afternoon drinking. Their Martinis are Manchester's best-kept secret, the cocktail menu reads like poetry, and the 1930s glamour interiors make you feel like a million quid even in trainers. Sunday roasts from 12pm blur seamlessly into Sunday afternoon sessions—nobody bats an eyelid if your "lunch" becomes a three-martini situation. The Art Deco bar area accepts walk-ins, so you can skip the dinner reservation and just settle in for classy daytime cocktails. Expensive, yes. Worth it, absolutely.
