We're Manchester's top secret cocktail bar, hidden behind an old laundrette. You’ll step through a disguised door in a vending machine to find a sophisticated, three-floor cocktail bar.
We offer a unique experience with full table service, where our amazing staff guide you through a seriously impressive cocktail menu. Each floor has its own bar, which you can hire as a single unit or as three separate spaces.
For something extra special, we've got "Narnia"—a secret room behind a wardrobe that fits up to 20 guests. Our venue is full of surprises, with hidden doors leading to secret rooms, photo booths, and even a slide.
Oh, and our luxurious bathrooms often host DJs on the weekends, turning your night out into something truly unforgettable!
We're situated 60 yards away from Shudehill Tram Stop and 0.2 miles walk from Manchester Victoria Train Station
We offer booth seating for up to 120 guests, with an additional 40 standing. Our booths come in various sizes, accommodating groups from 2 or 4 people up to 12. At the heart of the space is a stylish central cocktail bar, perfect for keeping the drinks flowing throughout your event.

April 2025We had an absolutely amazing experience here! The atmosphere and cocktails were brilliant. The service was exceptional. Our server Taylor really took time to explain the menu, different cocktails, and the options well. This meant we loved every cocktail we chose and got to enjoy the story and theme behind them all, too! The cocktails were amazing, but there was also a separate secret menu to find, a disco bathroom, and a hidden room that all added to the experience! We had such a good time, and it was well worth every penny!

March 2025I had been excited to visit the washouse for a while. However, I left feeling quite disappointed. I will give it the benefit of doubt because we went on a Saturday and it appeared to be quite busy. I was there for two hours and I got two drinks. My boyfriend and I got two cocktails each and it came to around £60. The cocktails were warm unfortunately. However, the girl taking care of our table was very lovely and welcoming and I can say the same for all the staff. I do think we maybe just caught them at a bad time.
