Reflexion Salford Quays

You'll find this slick operation right on the water's edge, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame those iconic MediaCity views. The interior's all polished concrete and mood lighting – proper grown-up vibes that work whether you're here for after-work drinks or pushing through until the small hours. The cocktail list does the business without getting too clever, and they've got a decent food menu if you need something to soak up the damage. What sets this place apart is those opening hours – while most of Salford Quays winds down, Reflexion keeps the party going until half past two. It's become the go-to for anyone working around MediaCity or the Lowry who fancies something more sophisticated than your average late-night boozer.
