Bar Lina Manchester

Head down to the Quays and you'll find Bar Lina tucked away on one of the city's best stretches for an evening out. This isn't the sort of place that'll serve you a mojito made with last week's lime—the team here takes their craft seriously, mixing drinks that taste like someone's actually thought about what goes in your glass. The space has that sophisticated-but-not-stuffy vibe that works whether you're after a proper date night or catching up with mates over something stronger than a pint. It's the kind of bar that makes you want to linger, especially when you're somewhere as walkable as the Quays with the rest of the city on your doorstep.
