Word on the street - new look and feel for Side Street

Popular day/night destination Side Street Studio has announced it’s undergoing an exciting refresh, ready for the party season - which includes dropping ‘Studio’ from its name, to be reborn as Side Street.

Located in Manchester’s St John’s district, on the ground floor of The ABC Buildings, the kitchen-bar-studio, currently home to Foley's coffee shop and Tartuffe kitchen, will re-open on October 26th after a two-week autumnal makeover.

While owners Shiko Group are keeping full details under wraps, they have revealed a few tasty nuggets of what’s planned in the refresh at Side Street:

  • The bar will become ‘Home of the Colada’ - boasting a killer selection of retro twists on the classic rum cocktail
  • A brand new menu from Tartuffe, already renowned for their incredible dishes including the popular Chicken Kiev sandwich
  • An extended 3am curfew to party the night away in the Studio
  • A brand new line-up of exciting events

Anthony Ellis for Shiko Group said: “Side Street [Studio] already has a loyal following and its own personality; a destination and hangout for creatives, brands and after work drinkers from Manchester and afar. This refresh will simply add to its offering and make it even more of an essential day/night destination, from morning to midnight and beyond.”
