Three Little Words

About

Manchester's only distillery bar & restaurant 

Settle in for an hour or an evening to enjoy immaculate drinks, elegant food and an atmosphere you can soak up and take home with you.

When we opened in 2019, Three Little Words was chosen as Manchester’s Favourite Restaurant Opening of 2019. We are a premium cocktail bar sharing our beautiful Grade-II* railway arches with the Spirit on Manchester Distillery, in the city centre of Manchester. Our cocktails are perfectly balanced, vibrant and made with plenty of love by our team. Our menu is made up of 16 exquisite cocktails, however, our talented bar team is regularly trained in creating worldwide known cocktail classics, and their history, so they are always ready to create something personalised to your taste. As much as we love being a cocktail bar, we also believe that quality nibbles alongside cocktails are a perfect match, therefore, our chefs provide a range of quality small plates and snacks to create the perfect pairing alongside your cocktail.

If you’re looking for a late-night bar for the weekend then we recommend you try our Sounds From The Distillery every Friday & Saturday with a live DJ from 8pm.

Our Feed The Soul Sundays have become a brilliant end-of-the-week treat. Delicious Sunday roasts served with all the trimmings, unlimited homemade gravy and towering Yorkshire pudding alongside our refreshing cocktails and live soul & funk music between 2.30 - 6.30pm

Drink

The Three Little Words cocktail menu is crafted to mix the best spirits and liqueurs in unique concoctions. You'll find all the classics, shaken, stirred and poured to perfection; as well as an original list of serves crafted by the talented bar team. Aside from cocktails, you'll find a well-curated wine menu, an interesting selection of local beers, and premium soft drinks.

Dine

Developed with inspirations taken from botanicals, the Three Little Words food menu presents beautiful fresh dishes using local, seasonal ingredients and unusual flavour combinations. Choose from small plates - perfect for sharing with a drink - or stay for a sit-down meal.

In addition to the full-time food menu, seasonal specials take centre stage to make use of the freshest ingredients and minimise waste. You'll also find an ever-changing sandwich of the day (just £10 with a double G&T), canapés for large group bookings, and a phenomenal Sunday roast, served from 12om every Sunday.
