The 11 Best Cocktail Bars In Manchester - Manchester - The Infatuation

"Speak In Code in Deansgate is all the proof you need that Manchester’s creative rebelliousness is thriving. Here, the flawless (and, incidentally, vegan) cocktails are inventive and diabolically precise. The Manhattan-esque Demo 5 is a celebration of all things peach: lacto-fermented skins in a bourbon base, peach aperitif infused with peach wood and blossom, all off-set with earthy miso. And the non-alcoholic cocktails, like a lightly carbonated, salty bitter melon and honeydew concoction, are in a class of their own. Other than the slightly overwrought hip-hop theme, a nod to the founder’s music background, there’s not a misstep in sight. Booking in advance is a must." - becky cooper

My partner and I have visited Speak in Code a number of times now, and yesterday we got to sit in their new Studio space for the first time for some end of night anniversary cocktails. This is without a doubt my favourite place to get cocktails in the city. Not only are the drinks exceptional (and they really really are) but the bar staff are so friendly and accommodating and always willing to answer any questions. You can tell they love what they do and the proof is in the cocktails themselves. Big shoutout to Little Jo for making our anniversary one to remember : )

Visited Speak in Code for my brothers birthday. Big Joe was absolutely brilliant in guiding us through the menu and taking our drinks preferences to recommend cocktails that both of us really enjoyed. He was happy to take any questions we threw at him about absolutely anything - the bar, the drinks or the menu. His knowledge was second to none and he explained every ingredient and how they paired together in detail. Big Joe took this from just a few cocktails to an experience - and we both experimented with cocktails we wouldn’t have picked from the menu alone. Would recommend SIC to anyone - the cocktails and the service were brilliant from start to finish.

If The Bear did cocktails. This place is incredible. A friend and I dropped by on a recommendation from another cocktail bar in town, with the intention of crawling a few different places, but we sat at the bar and then never left. They have thought of everything. The ambience is spot on: low comfortable lighting, incense burning (when do you ever see that??), chilled out hip hop playing, table seating only so even though it was Saturday evening into night it never got overrun and rowdy. I'm autistic so am quite sensitive to sensory inputs and I was comfortable. The cocktails are to a one, singular experiences. The menu describes each one, down to vibes, flavour profile, glass/tumbler, and the inspiration behind it. All the ingredients are made on site, by hand, so they're using all kinds of ingredients to make mixers and flavours (space invaders for example, no lie). Like I said, it's like The Bear for cocktails. The staff were lovely, attentive, super informative and obviously in love with their craft - they're not staff they're more like art curators. Honestly I'm tempted to make this place my local (and it's not local)

We would never have found this bar only we were in the local vicinity. It’s a basement bar. No reservation required for a Monday evening but surprisingly busy. Menus in record sleeves. Very interesting cocktails that will be explained to you by the bar men. Sat at the bar in comfortable stools and listened to chilled hip hop. All the cocktails are without exception interesting. We had a couple with some water on the side. Unisex toilets but very clean. Dark, sultry venue. Loved it.

Amazing place for cocktails. I am not knowledgeable at all, but the barman was able to recommend 2 excellent cocktails. Really friendly staff, cool atmosphere and music.

My friend and I attended Speak In Code after being recommended it by another friend of mine. I really didn’t know what to expect, but even just walking through the door was an experience in itself, being shown to our table immediately and run through the menu with Sinc. The decor, lighting, atmosphere, menu, coasters… everything equated to what I would label as the best experience I’ve ever had in any form of bar in my life. As for the cocktails? MY LORD!!! I nearly cried when I tried the White Russian, and it wasn’t even what I had ordered for myself. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for somewhere to indulge into luxury for an evening.

Such a cool vibe and the most delicious drinks! Loved seeing the thought and care put into each drink via the doodles & descriptions in the menu. Would have the demo 6 & 7 again any time!
