Blacklock Manchester

For some time now, we’ve held Manchester close to our hearts. Admirers from afar, we’ve looked on dotingly at it’s fabulous food scene, beautiful architecture and dreamed of one day serving up All Ins, doling out Granny’s White Chocolate Cheesecake and wheeling around our dainty cocktail trolley, making Old Fashioneds tableside.

So when a local landlord asked what we thought of a cosy basement in the corner of a Grade ll listed warehouse, formerly home to a textile merchant rich with Mancunian history, we hopped on the first train from Euston, took one look and knew we’d found our perfect home. That it’s hiding in plain sight beneath bustly Peter Street, a stone's throw away from a few places we have ever-so-mild industry crushes on like Speak in Code and Schofield’s Bar sealed the deal.

We're now setting to work to lovingly restore every inch of this heritage building and reveal it’s former beauty - think old warehouse strip flooring, red brick walls and vaulted ceilings where the light floods in ready to warmly welcome you (with a gulp of nervous apprehension) in the Autumn.
