Over and out, Manchester…for now! We’ll be inviting you all back soon- stay tuned❤️
Cottonopolis has become known as a staple part of the Northern Quarter bar & restaurant scene, we believe we’ve reached the end of our journey in its current guise. It’s been great, we’ve thrown some great parties, hosted weddings and worked with fantastic brands but we want to do something just as fresh. Just like when Cottonopolis first came onto the NQ scene, we feel like it is the right time to bring an exciting new concept.
We’ve been working behind the scenes to develop our next adventure, which will bring a new quality place to eat and drink to the NQ, with the same exceptional standards we’ve become known for at Edinburgh Castle. We’d like to thank all of our guests for their loyalty over the last eight years, and we’re looking forward to sharing the next part of our journey with you.
Further details will be revealed later this month, with plans to reopen to the public early ‘24.
Nick and Hayley Muir are also the directors behind the Edinburgh Castle pub on Blossom Street, Ancoats. They transformed the derelict 200-year-old pub in Ancoats, building up its reputation for exceptional food & drink, resulting in the pub recently being named as one of the best gastropubs in the UK.
Edinburgh Castle is the first Manchester city centre venue to make it into the shortlist for the Estrella Damn Top 50 Gastropubs, which sees members within the hospitality industry including top chefs and food writers vote for their best places to eat. The official rankings will be revealed at an official ceremony later this month.
Further announcements will be released in due course.
