    We stumbled upon this gorgeous little bar tucked into the side of King Street. The cocktails are lovely and the decor is chic. Will definitely be coming back for drinks.

    Nice spot, bar staff were great and very friendly cocktails were really nice and the selection on the two for £12 was really good. Would happily go again.

    Have been coming here for well over a year but was greeted rudely tonight; we were told it was closed, when we enquired further we were told it was last orders, then we were told it closes at 11:30pm… it states that it closes at 12am (which it does because I’ve drank here many times before and it’s even quite busy at the moment, despite a sign saying they now close at 2am on the weekends).

    Friendly bartenders, good music and nice decor. The cocktails are varied enough for you to find something you like no matter your taste. Definitely recommend!

    Went in bar and asked what draught lager was available as only 4 pumps at front, was not told about others on rotation(at the back) when asked, but was explained this in my review response, along with being told I should have checked the menu for full list!, which I would now suggest you do when visiting, as we felt this was more a cocktail bar..

    Not sure why this wasn’t busy on a friday night because its a great bar with lots of board games to play with friends! £10 deal for a pint + cocktail all night is absolutely worth it, my friends and I really enjoyed ourselves.

    Lovely little bar. Stumbled across this place by accident when looking for a place to drink on a Saturday night that wasn’t absolutely rammed or playing crazy loud music. This place is perfect! Cocktails were decent and 2 for £12. There are board games too which is always a nice addition. Will definitely be going back!

    Very good service, nice selection of board games - rated atmosphere low as was very quiet. Would be very nice if slightly busier

    Stumbled across this place while out with my fiancee, our puppy and our friends. So lucky we did because we had a brilliant night! Such a cool idea having games available to play, and the cocktails were amazing! We will be back next time we come to Manchester!

    We had some happy hour cocktails here. They were good value & delicious. Service was quick! Unfortunately there were several groups of creepy men also having bevvies outside on adjacent tables. They were leering & being weird. I guess the weight of the Patriarchy isn't Hudson Social's fault, but it did dampen our vibe.

  • 3/5 Lucy T. 11 months ago on Google
    Nice vibe but they add a service charge for drinks even though you're ordering from the bar.

  • 5/5 Mandy C. 1 year ago on Google
    Happy hour good choice of cocktails, proper ones with alcohol which is very much lacking in most places in Manchester. Really good vibe about the place. Xx

    Brilliant cocktail bar. Friendly staff, good prices, not mega loud. Good atmosphere all round

    It's an excellent little bar. Great cocktails.

  • 5/5 Joseph M. 1 year ago on Google
    I was invited for a group end of summer party. A little bit hidden in the city centre, but very cool with lots of places to seat. Music is moderate, not like some places in Dean's Gate. (I think I'm getting old....)

    Thank you to Lewis and the team at Hudson Social for their excellent collaboration on my corporate event. They were very attentive and generous and ultimately helped deliver a great event. I fully recommend this venue for private events!

  • 5/5 Charlotte W. 2 years ago on Google
    Lewis and Liv have been so helpful! The cocktails are next level and so is their knowledge, I will be here as regulars… unfortunately for them ahah

  • 5/5 Nancy L. 2 years ago on Google
    We came with a big group of 16 and were amazed with the service from start to finish! The staff were so accommodating and went out of their way to make us feel welcome, including providing free drinks and candles for our friends 22nd birthdays! Lovely vibe to the place, couldn't recommend more!

👍👍 I was craving curry during my stay in Manchester. And Google suggested this place to me. It's in the centre, almost 6 minutes away from my hotel. The interior design is very hip and it has a great vibe. The music that is being played is modern. The curry was amazing. And the prices were perfect for...
