There really is no simpler pleasure than taking in the sunset. But what makes that simple pleasure instantly special? Taking in the sunset from 20 storeys high, looking over your favourite city’s skyline. And when we say favourite city, we mean Manchester, obviously.
Bringing back their Blackout Dinner for January 2023 after its sell-out Halloween event, the Manchester bar and restaurant recently crowned one of the best rooftop bars in the world, 20 Stories, has announced that guests can do exactly that. The Manchester spot is hosting a special event in partnership with Cîroc, which will see the stunning restaurant completely blacked out, with only candlelight and the light from the view of the city to provide the mysterious ambience.
Taking place on Sunday 29th January 2023, guests will get to step into a darkened restaurant as the light from the thousands of candles flicker, before setting down at the table to enjoy bespoke Cîroc cocktails. There, guests can unwind while taking in the natural views of the city, with no bright light sources to distract from the beautiful city scenes.
If that wasn’t all, 20 Stories will also be cooking up a very special five course menu (vegan menu available) with cocktails to accompany the dishes. The Enchanted Forest cocktails, to match the theme of 20 Stories’ winter terrace, include classics like Pornstar Martini and French Cosmopolitan, as well as new and unique mixes. Choose from the likes of Working Turtle (Cîroc, grapefruit, St. Germain, peach), Red Scare (Cîroc Red Berry, Cointreau, peach, cranberry, raspberry) and Throes of Passion (Cîroc Passion, passionfruit, lemonade).
Costing £70 per person, guests will be welcomed at 7.30pm and dining amongst the darkness will commence from 8pm, with all booking requests made to CharlotteC@danddlondon.com. Find out more about the Blackout Dinner at 20 Stories here.
20 Stories can be found at NO. 1, 1 Hardman Square, M3 3EB.
