Salut Wines

You'll find Salut tucked away on Cooper Street in the city centre, in that stretch between Spinningfields and the Arndale where things feel a bit less polished and more honest. It's the kind of place where regulars prop up the bar on a Tuesday evening and the sommelier remembers what you drank last month. The wine list is genuinely interesting without being show-offy—loads of natural and small-producer stuff alongside the classics, and they're not charging London prices for it either. Food's simple but done well, the sort of thing that actually pairs with wine rather than fighting it.
