Southside Tequila Joint

Head down to Withington and you'll find yourself in a place that takes tequila seriously without being a complete snob about it. The kind of spot where the staff can talk you through mezcal expressions or just pour you something cold and sharp if that's what you need. Wilmslow Road's got plenty of decent venues, but this one stands out because it feels like someone's genuinely passionate about what's behind the bar. You'll get the mix of locals and people who've travelled across Manchester specifically for this, which tells you something.
