There was a rustic antique…read moremediterranean vibe about the venue that drew us in, Its very cute with a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Initially we only went in for some wine and olives but the staff were so hospitable they brought out some lamb kubbah in salad and a spicy pumpkin soup for us to have as well on the house! Its such a charming venue, the food was amazing, the wine divine and the staff heavenly. will definitely try and get back there soon!

I went to the New Year's Eve trail this year which started here with food from Luck, Lust, Liquor and Burn followed by numerously inventive cocktails and shots. It is the perfect start to a night which saw us driven to Epernay for champagne, Elixir for punch and ending at Reserve for midnight celebrations. Great hosts and well worth the money paid for an amazing night which is incredibly well organised. New trails are being held throughout the year and can be booked via the website.

From the owner: Your one stop shop for all things boozy in Manchester!…read more The Spirit and Cocktail trails are guided cocktail tours of the coolest and best bars, restaurants and drinking dens in Manchester. We take groups of up to 15 on 'the trail' taking in 5 bars as we learn about all things boozy. Fun, informative and something different from the go to name in Mancunian cocktail culture. The cocktail cruises we run are stuff of legend - The Gincident, The Mississippi Blues Cruise and The Vodyssey thoroughly explore both the history of the spirits we love, and the canals of Manchester between the city centre and Media City and back again! We specialize in showing you the best Manchester has to offer...with a drink in our hand x

This is such a lovely wine bar. When it comes to wine I don't pretend to know my stuff, I just…read moreopenly admit 'I know nothing about wine!' I do like wine, and it always has to be red, preferably a fruity one, but that's as far as it goes for me.. Names of wines? Nope. Flavours of wines? Nada. So I asked the bartender for a middle of the road, fruity, red. He recommended the Le Selezioni Cutaja, Nero d'Avola (confused face) and he looked like he knew his stuff, so with total faith in him that's what I went for. It was lovely. The bar itself is small but looks cosy. It wasn't particularly busy for a Tuesday evening but there was still a very pleasant atmosphere as I met some other Yelpers for pre-dinner drinks. As time goes on I can imagine this is the type of place I would like to sit for a few hours, order a meat and cheese board and try some different wines. This may have to involve building up my tolerance a little though, as usually 2 large glasses of red and I'm sloshed.

OH APERITIVI YOU SAY…read more Following my year in Bologna when I belatedly discovered Italian aperitivi culture (i.e. eating tiny free pieces of food along with your prosecco, negroni etc) I always get verrrry excited when I see it in the UK. Veeno apparently has a whole buffet on Wednesday, which I am excited to try. Meanwhile what we got was great - cheese and ham with excellent red wine (I got the "classic" which I really enjoyed). Will definitely be back here for drinks, it's a great stop off before, for example, Red's or Splendid Kitchen.

I second Alex! Despite not having actually bought anything here...yet (I may pop in there before my…read moreboyf's upcoming birthday as he has been known to brew a fair few bottles of wine!) I just really appreciate the fact that it exists! It sells everything you need to brew your own beer, wine, and spirits - they have shelves full of tiny intriguing bottles filled with essences of an array of different spirits. They also sell bits and bobs for coffee, tea and herbal drink connoisseurs and equipment for making Kombucha (a 'health drink' my mum makes that involves fermenting tea, producing a 'culture' full of yeast that resembles an alien out of a naff horror film which she calls 'the mother'...creepy or what!?). It is quite a small shop but is packed full of mysterious bottles and equipment and the staff are helpful and highly knowledgeable. If you're into making your own booze (or creepy aliens) or fancy taking up the hobby, Abbey Beer and Wine Making Supplies will sort you out!

I probably shouldn't review this place as I've never bought anything from here, but I did spend a…read morelong while wandering round in wonder at all the brewing contraptions on offer, so I felt the need to impart my knowledge. If you are into making your own beer, wine or spirits, then I suggest that Abbey is probably the place for you, and not just because it's the only shop of its type I've ever seen in Leeds. They have all manner of weird and wonderful Willy Wonka style contraptions, and the staff are clearly very passionate about what they offer - they'll probably even tell you how to make alcohol that doesn't blind anyone who drinks it. What more can you ask for?

Spirited Wines obviously has a large selection of wines (which you can also drink in the bar…read moreupstairs) and have developed a strong whisky selection too, accompanied by tastings. Unsurprisingly, it's more expensive in here than online (a £110 bottle of whisky is £30 less online) but we probably would never have found out about it had we not gone in. There's a small bottled beer selection which has a large proportion of gluten free beers (better than M&S, Harvey Nichols or hangingditch). Everytime I have gone in I have found the staff to be really nice and helpful and it's nearly always the same people who I suspect are also the owners/managers.

High time I added my opinion to Veeno, since I visited not so long ago. First off, the staff have…read moregot banter. If you're following my reviews in any capacity, you'll be aware this is a priority for me -- courteous is one thing, bantz is another! I do like a fun bit of chat, and these guys have got it. It makes the place feel even more fun, if wine and tapas isn't enough for your jollies. Here's what else: lots of wine and tapas. I've not tried the bites (I will soon now that I've remembered) but the wines are great. I'm so far from being a connoisseur that I won't even begin to try and explain, just rest assured that this is the place to un-wine-d aprés work. I like how they've managed to make the place feel European, despite being on Duncan Street. (Just don't look out the window or the dream will be shattered.) I need to get back here for a more in depth investigation of the scene.
