Mollie's Manchester

You're walking into proper Manchester history here. Mollie's occupies the Grade II-listed Old Granada TV Studios on Atherton Street—the same building that once housed the studios where Coronation Street was filmed. They've done something clever with the conversion, keeping the industrial bones of the place whilst injecting proper boutique hotel polish. It's the kind of spot that appeals to visitors wanting something more interesting than a chain, but locals should clock it too for the restaurant and bar scene alone.
