About Cloud 23 Cocktail Bar
On the 23rd floor of Beetham Tower, the Hilton's cocktail and champagne bar does something Manchester rarely manages at this altitude: it feels intimate rather than cavernous. The views across the city are the obvious draw, and they earn every mention — window seats fill fast, and the skyline at dusk is the kind of thing people photograph before they've even ordered. Afternoon tea is the signature experience here, with scones drawing repeated praise alongside the sandwiches and savouries that arrive fresh and carefully put together. The cocktail list has its own personality: the Tart in the City, which comes with a miniature Manchester tart, is the one people keep talking about. Bottomless brunch pulls in the celebration crowd — birthdays, anniversaries — and the service, particularly from Luana, who knows the allergen details and the menu inside out, is what turns a good visit into a 10/10 one.
