Signature cocktail: Coconut and Chilli
I loved ocasa, the vibe was great and the aesthetic was amazing! The staff were super friendly and the cocktail that was on offer taste so good.

Manchester Cocktail Week was incredibly well organised, and we were thrilled with the turnout at Lock 91. The energy, the cocktails, the people – it was a fantastic week! We’re already looking forward to shaking things up again next year.
Manchester Cocktail Week is a truly amazing celebration showcasing the talent and creativity of the city’s hospitality scene. It’s great to see the energy, love and support for the incredible local businesses that make Manchester’s bar scene so special.
Manchester Cocktail Week was a lot of fun! Our team really enjoyed planning and preparing our signature cocktail. We were all surprised at how popular the event was and definitely want to do it all again next year.
It was great to join other businesses around Manchester for this year's cocktail trail. It's so fun to see such a diverse collection of drinks for a great summery event.
