Manahatta photos: Inside Nottingham’s new glamorous cocktail bar bringing ‘the taste of New York’

A glitzy New York-inspired cocktail bar in Nottingham city centre will be opening its doors to the public this Saturday (November 9). 

Manhatta, in Queen Street, promises to “bring a taste of New York City nightlife to Nottingham”  and even has a mirrored disco ball reminiscent of the iconic Times Square ball drop. 

The new bar has a DJ booth which overlooks the spacious dancefloor, setting the stage for everyday escapism, glam get-togethers and unforgettable celebrations.

It promises £7 cocktails from Monday to Thursday and a cocktail menu including the Diamonds are Forever sharer – a mix of Bacardí Carta Blanca, watermelon, kiwi, cranberry, apple, and lime, served in a giant sparkling diamond.

The bar offers more than drinks, featuring a diverse food menu from gyozas, tacos, and bao buns to mains like Steak Frites and the New Yorker Burger.

Manahatta, which has a capacity of 450 people, is operated by the same group which operates Nottingham’s BOX venue. 

Aidan Beaumont, bar development manager at Manahatta Nottingham, said: “We’re really excited to be launching in Nottingham and we can't wait to welcome guests to the bar this weekend so that they can come and experience the atmosphere at Manahatta. 

“Whether it’s for a boozy brunch, afternoon cocktail or a glam night out, Manahatta has something for everyone.”
