Capri Beach Club

You'll find yourself transported to the Amalfi Coast the moment you step into this slice of Italian dolce vita. The Aperol spritzes flow like water here, and the negronis are properly bitter in that satisfying way that makes you feel sophisticated even when you're three drinks deep on a Tuesday. The crowd skews young professional – think post-work wind-downs and weekend catch-ups with mates who've just discovered they actually enjoy vermouth. The terrace seating makes the most of Manchester's unpredictable weather, with enough heating to keep you comfortable when optimism meets reality. Service moves at a Mediterranean pace, which either adds to the authentic charm or tests your patience, depending on how thirsty you are.
