Inside Manchester's most festive bar complete with Christmas trees, roaring fires and unlimited mince pies
Christmas trees, tinsel and mince pies - the festive season has officially arrived in Manchester. I know what you're thinking, we've not even ticked off Bonfire Night yet, but as we all know, Christmas waits for no man and that's certainly the case at Miracle on Cross Street - Manchester's 'most festive bar'.
Situated beneath Salt Dog Slim's, and accessed via a secret door and winter wonderland, Miracle on Cross Street is decked out to the nines. Walk down the snow-covered stairs and green and red neon signs guide you to the main bar area, which is decked out with tinsel, Christmas trees adorned with baubles, candy cane decorations.
Speaking to the Manchester Evening News , the bar's owner Nick tells us: "We are basically all things Christmas. We are adult-only, so we serve cocktails, non-alcoholic drinks, unlimited mince pies and we want to offer a space that gives anyone who comes down here an amazing Christmas feeling. Speaking of free cocktails, the selection here is as expected festive-themed with a number of sweet tipples to get you in the party spirit. Highlights include: The Christmas Cracker, a warming blend of spiced rum , amaretto cranberry, ginger beer and lime; Apple Pie Martini, a seasonal beverage encompassing vodka, apple liqueur, apple juice, caramel, cream and cinnamon; and the Espresso-Ho Ho Martini, a riff on a classic with the edition of salted caramel and chocolate.
