There are many types of alcoholic drinks that people from around the world consume. You can have beer, if that is what you love. You can also have vodka or a simple distilled spirit. There are also wines and all manner of other alcoholic drinks that may suit your taste. There are also generic drinks, known as cocktails, which may contain, a distilled spirit, a mixer and another liqueur. There are dozens of different types of cocktails from different parts of the world, and bartenders, as well as consumers, seem to be coming up with new cocktails every single day. The best place to get your favourite cocktail is at a cocktail bar. When looking for the best cocktail bars Manchester visitors and local residents should consider a number of factors, including:
i) Location
Location is key when you are looking for a place to have a drink. The ideal cocktail bar should be located within the CBD or in a safe neighbourhood near your home or hotel room. There should be taxis parking nearby as well as ample security.
ii) Quality of Staff
The ideal cocktail bar should have attentive staff. This is because you do not want to get the wrong drink after placing your order. The best bars are usually busy, so it’s always nice to have attentive staff who will notice you and help you get a suitable seat either at the bar or at a table. The staff should also be friendly and respectful. They should also deliver your order within reasonable time.
iii) Ambiance
One thing that distinguishes traditional bars and cocktail bars is the ambiance. The atmosphere inside a cocktail bar is usually warm and comfortably. From the time you get into a cocktail bar to the time you leave, you will feel at home. The lighting, volume on the audio system and type of music played are usually perfect. The decor and arrangement of drinks also contribute to this mood.
iv) Great Drinks
The main goal of going to a cocktail bar is obviously to have your favourite drink. If you know exactly what you want, you should place your order. Alternatively, you can have the house favourite or the bartender’s choice. Whatever the case, the quality of the drink and how the ingredients have been mixed should be great.
v) Prices
If you have been going to bars for some time, you probably already know that prices usually vary from one bar to the next. The moment you walk into a cocktail bar, you can easily predict what the prices might be. If after having a cocktail, and sampling how it tastes as well as seeing the quality of glasses used, you discover that the drinks are overpriced, you should look for a better bar because the best cocktail bars offer value for money.
