It's always doubly rewarding to discover a new luxurious experience. Obsidian Restaurant & Bar at 24 Princess Street Manchester is one such gem.
It has a beautifully sumptuous feel without being intimidating. The offering is subt
le. The décor tells you are somewhere special. The bar team, with Tom Lloyd heading it up, make you feel relaxed. They also offer some truly unique cocktail creations. Further this team are interested in what they are doing. At Obsidian you have no doubt that Tom and his team are engaged in their art. It is a real joy to watch. Obsidian Restaurant and Bar has been open for 6 years. It is part of the Arora H
otel. The bar and restaurant were refurbished 2 years ago to allow for more space. The atmosphere is relaxed with a mix of cool and professional.Most people have one thing in common. They are there to enjoy great drinks. The food is terrific too apparently, although we didn't have time for that.
Tom Lloyd, the bar manager, started as a bar back and worked is way up into bar management. You can tell that he enjoys what he does. One of his favourite cocktails at the moment is Brockback Mountain which is made up with t
he following ingredients and served in a martini glass.Brockmans Gin,
Antica Formula Vermouth
Mozart Chocolate
Mandarin Napoleon
In keeping with the bar this is a luxuriously smooth taste.
The cocktail menu is both extensive and interesting so make sure you check out Obsidian soon.
