Who says the weekend starts on Friday? At Be At One Manchester, Wednesdays are basically pre-weekend - thanks to the Midweek Mixtape. It's a midweek celebration of music, margaritas, and massive drink deals. Think £5 cocktails, £3 shots, and enough good vibes to get you through the rest of the week.
Gather your mates, grab a table, and dive into a margarita menu that's got range - spicy, sweet, frozen, and everything in between. Wednesday is the new Friday (just cheaper).
