A city centre Manchester bar lauded for its huge gin collection has launched a new bottomless brunch deal, and it sounds too good to pass up.
Atlas Bar, located at the Castlefield end of Deansgate, is well known for its humungous gin collection – spanning over 570 bottles at the most recent count.
Growing every week, the bar has to host an up-to-date version of its gin menu online as the printing costs would be astronomical. That’s how big the choice is here.
A Manchester mainstay for over twenty years, the bar is something of a mecca for gin lovers and was once, famously, a favourite haunt of Tony Wilson.
But now, Mancs have another reason to pay them a visit. Especially those who love themselves a boozy brunch.

As well as enjoying 90 minutes of endless drinks, diners are also treated to a dish of their choice from the Atlas breakfast or lunch menu.
Options range from full English breakfasts and brunch favourites like Eggs Royale and Eggs Benedict to all-day treats such as smashed quarter-pound beef burgers, buttermilk fried chicken sandwiches, salt beef bagels and a three-cheese toasted sourdough.
Further dishes, including side plates, are also available to order separately for an extra cost.

You can now own a two-bed barge in a Greater Manchester marina
Thomas Melia
A new property has gone up for sale in Greater Manchester but you’ll have to act fast otherwise it’ll sail right past you – literally.
Ever fancied living on a yacht in Sicily or a cruise ship in the Caribbean? Well, now you can live your nautical dreams right here in the heart of Greater Manchester.
I hope blue is your favourite colour because this barge is decked out floor to ceiling in this deep maritime tone, even the kitchen cupboards are blue, pastel to be specific.
The main living area and kitchen are open plan with walls that span three-quarters of the property‘s width creating a corridor between the two bedrooms and bathroom.

In terms of the cooking space, the kitchen is fully fitted with all the appliances you could ever need, perfect for a lazy Sunday when all you’re after is a full English and a nice comforting view.
As you can see, there’s also a cute skylight window above the kitchen which brings in more natural light and broadens perspectives within this area, although it’s quite roomy anyway.
Both bedrooms are quite sizeable meaning you don’t have to downsize or reduce your wardrobe and your other half can stop insisting you do (just us? Never mind).
Now, sit back, relax and just imagine drinking a prosecco while perched under the British sun on your new barge balcony.
If this barge wasn’t snug enough how about a log burner to go with it, and not just any log burner, a dual fuel log burner, that’ll keep you toasty.
Situated on Pennington Marina in Leigh, there’s a small collection of amenities nearby including a chippy and restaurant just a seven-minute walk away, I know where I’m off for tea.

And if you’re ever in the mood for a walk, just hop off your cruiser and let your feet lead the way along the canal to the interesting and quirky Lock Gates Monument, only eight minutes away.
Overall, this houseboat is 70ft she’s definitely not small, this really is like a home away from home, the only difference is this one’s on water.
Interested in ditching land in favour of water or just feel like having a nosey, you can find the two-bedroom houseboat listing with all its pictures and floor plan HERE.
Trams through city centre disrupted as Storm Eowyn hits Manchester
Daisy Jackson
The high winds brought by Storm Eowyn to the UK today have led to travel disruption in Manchester, with busy city centre trams out of action.
No Metrolink services are running through Deansgate-Castlefield, Cornbrook or St Peter’s Square at the time of writing, due to damage to an overhead line at Deansgate.
Many services are stopping outside the city centre, with the service changes expected to last into the evening.
The disruption comes as much of the UK is battered by extremely strong winds from Storm Eowyn, which has led to a rare red weather warning in Scotland.
Parts of Greater Manchester have also been placed under an amber weather alert for wind today, with the Met Office issuing do not travel warnings.
The Bee Network has today confirmed that overhead wires at Deansgate-Castlefield have been damaged in the storm, with engineers ‘working hard’ to fix the damage.
Ticket acceptance is in place on several bus routes.

But service disruptions are expected to continue into the evening.
Ian Davies, TfGM’s Interim Director for Metrolink, said: “We are doing everything we can to resolve this situation at Deansgate Castlefield but the conditions are making this very difficult and there is likely to be disruption for the rest of the day.
“I would encourage those travelling by tram today to check the information on our website, app and social media channels before setting off.”
Below are the routes trams are taking this evening – you can see the latest updates HERE.
