Oh, and our luxurious bathrooms often host DJs on the weekends, turning your night out into something truly unforgettable!

    We recently had the absolute pleasure of visiting The Wash House in Manchester to celebrate a truly special occasion—our 20th wedding anniversary—and let me just say, this is hands-down the best speakeasy cocktail bar we have ever visited! Flying in all the way from Dublin just to experience this hidden gem was completely worth it. From the moment we arrived, the whole evening was unforgettable. The entrance itself sets the tone—it’s so cleverly disguised that finding your way inside feels like an adventure! Once inside, you’re immediately enveloped by an incredible atmosphere. The vibe is electric—The Wash House manages to be both intimate and buzzing at the same time. The space was packed, and it’s clear why. The cocktails were on another level, unbelievably creative and delicious. Each drink felt like a work of art, crafted with both skill and flair. Adding to the magic was the quirky touch of a live DJ performing... in the toilets! Yes, you read that right. It’s little touches like this that make The Wash House so unique and unforgettable. But what really made our night exceptional was the outstanding service. A huge shout-out to our host, Annyce, who went above and beyond to make us feel special. She was warm, welcoming, and genuinely cared about making our anniversary celebration perfect. If you’re looking for an extraordinary cocktail experience, The Wash House is it. We can’t wait to come back and relive the magic. Thank you, The Wash House, for making our milestone celebration truly one of a kind!

    Attended here last night after wanting to come for a couple of years, and this place was worth the wait. Absolutely spectacular experience. The drinks, the atmosphere. The service from Ben and the bar staff also deserves a special mention! Just overwhelmed by the whole experience, it was so lovely. I’ll be recommending this place to anyone who listens and looking for my next excuse to visit!
