Bar Posie – 10 Tib Lane team to open new cocktail bar in former Manchester sandwich shop

The team behind Manchester’s 10 Tib Lane restaurant are opening a brand-new cocktail bar in a former sandwich shop.

They have announced that Bar Posie will be opening next month in the old Philpotts unit in Bruntwood SciTech’s Bloc building, right off Market Street.

The brand-new bar for the city centre will be serving cocktails, small plates and bar snacks, at the foot of Bruntwood SciTech’s Bloc building (also home to the Reset by Form pilates studio).

Bar Posie will be doing an aperitvo and oyster happy hour every Tuesday to Sunday between 12pm and 4pm, with £8 aperitivo and oysters for a quid.

It’s all coming from the 10 Tib Lane team, which opened in the old Bock Biere site back in 2021, transforming the space into a cosy multi-storey restaurant with seasonal sharing dishes.

This week, Bar Posie has shared a sneak peek of its menu, which will feature quality plates like confit chicken and wild mushroom croquettes, pork belly skewers, and a bitter leaf salad with buttermilk dressing.

As for drinks, expect cocktails like a cacao nib negroni, a classic vodka martini, and ‘La Isla’, a blend of Aperol, almond, Takamaka koko, mango and melon soda and acid.

That’s alongside conventional and natural wines, craft beer, and plenty of coffee.

The space itself will be split into a mix of cosy booth seating, bar seats, and al fresco dining across two levels, with the cocktail bar at the very heart of everything.

Sophie Robson, co-owner of Bar Posie said: “Our opening date is just around the corner, and we can’t wait to share all that Posie has to offer.

“This menu is the culmination of decades of passion and experience and we’re really proud of it. The cocktail collection is full of exciting drinks and flavours that are unique to Posie.

“The experimental side of things will be complemented by classic cocktails perfected by our team, as well as great wine, beer and some cracking small plates. We can’t wait to open the doors and welcome Manchester to Bar Posie.”

Bar Posie will open in Bruntwood SciTech’s Bloc building on Tuesday 4 November.
