The first sign of sun in Manchester has everyone scrambling for a decent terrace, and when that terrace comes with a brand new menu of seasonal small plates and cocktails, you know you’ve found the right spot. For those looking to celebrate the warmer days, a trip to Spring Gardens is in order, because that’s home to Posie, the casual yet lively bar and small plates restaurant.
Having just launched its spring menu alongside a new floral outdoor space, Posie is the perfect spot for a sunny day, or at least it’ll bring some sun to a rainy Manc day. Inside, the décor sets a relaxed tone with soft pinks, green velvet chairs, and warm wood, creating a great backdrop for an evening of food and drinks.
Oysters, skewers & seasonal cocktails
The new menu is built for sharing. Cocktails are described as “gorgeous, bright, and fresh” arriving in elegant coupes and tumblers. To eat, the selection of small plates features standouts like tender pork belly skewers and perfectly savoury stuffed olives.
Seafood lovers can try the oysters, served either raw or fried—good enough to convert anyone into a new enthusiast.
The city centre’s new floral terrace
The main attraction for the sunnier weather is undoubtedly the new terrace. The corner spot in Spring Gardens is now a charming oasis lined with green tables and chairs – each table is finished with pink pots holding spring flowers like daffodils and pansies, making it an ideal place for an after-work drink or a long weekend lunch.
Bookings for Posie can be made via their official website.
📍 You can find Posie at 17 Marble St, Spring Gardens, Manchester M2 3AW.
