Corridor

This slick cocktail lounge brings a touch of New York speakeasy sophistication to Salford’s back streets. Tucked away down a back alley and based in an old textiles warehouse, it’s hard to find if you haven’t visited before, but the bouncers outside are usually a big hint. Once inside you’re greeted by a chic lounge environment complete with red sofa booths, dimmed lighting, and funk, soul and jazz playing over the speakers. It’s not hard to see why it was listed in FHM’s Top Ten Most Secretive Drinking Dens On The Planet. With almost 50 cocktails on the menu you’ll find the usual classics as well as plenty of new and unique flavours if you want to try something different. If cocktails aren’t your thing, however, there’s a choice of locally brewed and imported beers, as well as wines and spirits. Corridor can also be hired for private parties. [Charlotte Davies]
