About

Found in the heart of Manchester City Centre, Cloud 23 is a luxury sky bar, bringing panoramic views and an elegant setting for your next evening out. Whether you're in the mood for one of the bar’s signature cocktails, a glass of Champagne, or a delightful afternoon tea, Cloud 23 promises a treat for everyone.

The latest cocktail menu has been inspired by Manchester’s iconic landmarks and culture, with drinks masterfully created by the talented mixologists. The Botanical Society blends kaffir-lime-infused gin with aloe vera, kiwi, green tea and lemon, offering a delightful blend of refreshing citrus notes and aromatic bitters, with delicious layers of flavour. Elsewhere, the Heaton Park is inspired by the charming ice cream vans of the area, evoking memories of sunny days with its unique presentation and combination of Creme de Cassis, Chambord, strawberry, raspberry and lime.

It’s not just drinks at Cloud 23 though, with panoramic views of the bustling Manchester Metropolis, the elegant sky bar invites you to indulge in the elegance of afternoon tea or enjoy some nibbles with your choice of drinks. Guests can enjoy a selection of Mediterranean snacks and plates, including burrata with chilli oil and crispy onion, sliced mortadella with grilled artichokes and sourdough, or truffle hummus served with smoked paprika tortilla crisps. You’ll also find grazing and charcuterie towers for those who can’t decide, packed full of cheeses, olives, and meats, as well as hummus, labneh and pesto dip.
