Bar Shrimp

Description

Bar Shrimp is Manchester’s glam little seafood-and-cocktail lounge, tucked on New York Street with a look that leans late‑night and luxe: low lighting, plush red banquettes, and sweeping drapes that cocoon the room. A custom hi‑fi rig sets the mood (programmed by a dedicated music director), so the soundtrack evolves from aperitif hour to after‑hours, and table service keeps things smooth from the first martini to the last nightcap.

The USP is “seafood, drinks and sound” done with precision. Expect an Oyster Happy Hour on weekdays, shellfish over ice, caviar with house crisps, and bright, briny plates like Cornish crab cocktail or tuna crudo, alongside bar‑cart comforts - think a Dexter beef burger and proper hand‑cut fries. Cocktails are considered rather than flashy; beers pour from the taps, and the cellar tilts toward thoughtful fizz and food‑friendly wines. Time your arrival for that 4-5pm 50% oyster window if you’re chasing a bargain.

Bar Shrimp is the sibling to Higher Ground (right next door) and Flawd, from the same trio - Joseph Otway, Daniel Craig Martin and Richard Cossins - so five-star hospitality and excellent ingredients sourcing are a given.
