THE NUMBER ONE DIVE COCKTAIL BAR IN MANCHESTER!

We’re more than just a late-night bar.

Salt Dog Slims Manchester is where cocktails, world beers, hot dogs and questionable decisions all come together under one roof. Open seven days a week, we’re here for after-work drinks, spontaneous nights out and those “just one” plans that somehow turn into closing time.

Pull up for proper cocktails, loaded hot dogs and a few things you probably weren’t expecting, including free pool every day, our very own vending machine serving up Alabama Slims, and enough good tunes to keep the night moving.

And if you like your nights with a bit of competition, join us for Steins, Brines & Question Times! Our monthly quiz packed with ridiculous rounds, weird prizes and absolutely no serious quiz energy. Come for the glory, stay because someone’s determined to challenge the answers.
If you know where to look, there’s more below the surface.

Hidden beneath Salt Dog Slims you’ll find MDNT. Once inside, expect a carefully curated drinks menu, low lighting and a soundtrack led by our resident DJs. Whether you’re settling in for a few cocktails or making a whole night of it, MDNT is the spot for when you want something a little more under the radar.

Whether you’re settling in for drinks, staying for the quiz or disappearing downstairs for one more round, Salt Dog Slims is one of Manchester’s favourite places to lose track of time.

Offering cocktail enthusiasts the chance to indulge in a hands-on experience led by Salt Dogs’ expert mixologists, where they will learn the art of crafting signature cocktails while enjoying an immersive journey into the world of spirits and flavours.

Each masterclass promises an intimate setting and personalised guidance, ensuring participants walk away with newfound mixology skills and a deeper appreciation for the craft. Whether you’re a cocktail whizz or a beginner looking to elevate your bartending game, Salt Dogs Slims’ masterclasses offer something for everyone.

Guests will have the opportunity to experiment with premium spirits, fresh ingredients, and innovative techniques, all while enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of Salt Dogs’ stylish venue in the heart of Manchester.
