Visited the cocktail spot with my friend last night. The staff was laid-back but attentive, the vibe was speak easy/relaxed, and the drinks hit the spot. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic hidden gem cocktail bar in Manchester. It's a bit expensive, but has great music, loads of seating and it's never felt overly busy to me. One of my favourite late night Manchester bars.

Great place, cocktails are obvs amazing.Service was a little slow, not the fault of the staff - there just wasn't enough of them to be getting drinks out.Had a good time, a little expensive but really novel cocktails and a great experience

Great little bar we found on a rainy night out. We didn’t want to walk far after eating in San Carlo and came across Arcane. Cozy atmosphere, loved the music which was late 90s and fabulous cocktails. We could still hear each other speak and the staff were friendly. Lovely doormen also. Thanks for fab night.

Update: Went on a thursday, was full of students in trainers and unkempt clothing, plus loud indie music playing, killed the atmosphere and not what I expected from what I felt was a classy place. May not bother going again.Original post: The service is amazing and cocktails are good; However, the trick of using too much ice for less product and over charging seems to be an issue. Tip is charged automatically so cost me £28 for 2 old fashioned. Still been twice. Could be a little brighter but the bare brick walls and classic furniture is beautiful.

This cocktail bar has cool aesthetics! However, I was incredibly shocked when I ordered an £11 cocktail that came in a short tumbler glass with a huge square ice cube. I lifted the ice cube out to reveal how much liquid was in the glass and it was no more than an inch and a half (being generous). I've never felt so robbed and was really disappointed, especially because it took three sips to finish so I hardly tasted it. As an ex-barmaid, I do appreciate the skill that goes into making cocktails, though, I did feel cheated and therefore, sadly wouldn't recommend ordering cocktails at this establishment (I am sure beer and cider might be more reasonable). In addition to this, we were happy to order at the bar but told that its table service only, and unconsciously took a seat next to the bar. We were charged for the two steps from bar to table which was pretty frustrating as we were not given the option and in hospitality, it is part of the role. We normally tip, but it was too expensive and we did feel our drinks were a joke.Of course I understand that it is a business, but I felt and was made very aware that this was the case. I'm sorry for writing a negative review, I've only ever written one poor review before out of a very large quantity but I wanted to give a true reflection of our experience.

I always love an evening in Arcane. Pleasant bar staff. Nice and chilled atmosphere. Low lighting. Decent music. It'd been a while since our last visit, and they had introduced table service. I do prefer to just wait at the bar when ordering drinks. Especially as my gin and tonic ended up being a gin and lemonade, though the bar man quickly rectified the mistake.

Don't know how I missed this bar that apparently used to be a butchers shop. Still have the white tiles on view. Offered water as we sat down and friendly service. A bit of a speakeasy feel about it. Renown for its cocktails.
