Science And Industry

You're walking into one of those Manchester spaces that actually feels like something. The Grade II-listed building on Thomas Street has all the bones you'd want—exposed brick, high ceilings, that industrial-Victorian thing going on—but it doesn't feel like they're trying too hard with it. The bar crew know their stuff without being annoying about it, and whether you're after a technically brilliant cocktail or just a decent pint, they'll sort you proper. It's the kind of place where you'll bump into people from across the city, from Northern Quarter creatives to Deansgate office types, all mixing naturally.
