As we are a secret bar, the guests need to follow the following instructions
Once you arrive at the washhouse
Pick up the public phone on the wall and tell the person on the other end “I've got some dirty laundry to wash” followed by their surname
That gets you entry through the secret door

Hen - tastic! - I booked the washouse for my hen do and it didn’t disappoint the security guard in the laundrette played his role fabulously didn’t even really realise he was security whilst he was reading his book. He made it great fun telling us to keep ringing the phone and see if they are ready. We then went up to find that they had allocated us our own area ❤️ staff were really attentive and kept popping in to make sure we were having a good time and making drink suggestions and selections for everyone. They even accommodated and included non drinkers into the experience. We loved the slide and the disco bathroom will definitely be back in the future.

A memorable experience - Visited on a whim with family and had a great time. I had to modify the number of people coming twice, and staff were friendly and accommodating about it. Cocktails were a delight. I wish we could've stayed for another round!

Simply amazing 5/5 - Wow, what can I say?What an incredible experience this was over the weekend.
From the moment you arrive, the entrance into the bar is brilliant, such a fun and unique concept that immediately sets the tone for the evening. Inside, the moody atmosphere works perfectly, creating a relaxed, comfortable vibe
We visited on two separate nights and were looked after by Elliot both times. What an absolute asset to this establishment. He struck the perfect balance between being professional and genuinely friendly, and his knowledge of the cocktails was outstanding. From explaining the concept when we arrived to making sure we had everything we needed throughout the night, he made us feel incredibly welcome and well looked after. (Management please give this guy a pay rise 😂)
The cocktails themselves were exceptional.
Creative, unique, and unlike your standard cocktail menu. If you're looking for something a little different, this is definitely the place to go.
A quick shout out as well to the security on the door, really friendly and welcoming, which was a great first impression.
I can't recommend this place enough. If you're in Manchester and fancy a drink or two, make sure you check them out. I've worked in hospitality for 15 years. I don't find myself impressed very often but this weekend I was.
We shall return for another alien invasion in the future

It is what it is - Drinks are very strong. We had the Titanic cocktail. It was impossible to drink if you could imagine drinking diesel.
I think they should get rid of table service and you should be able to go to the bar to see how it is made you are sat at your table and you feel like you can’t move. You can’t have a look around you feel the team do an excellent job butI think going to the bar yourself would be more experience rather than made to sit there and not move.
