Manchester’s vibrant hospitality scene is getting an exciting new addition this autumn with the opening of ‘Posie’, a bar-led concept by the creators of the beloved 10 Tib Lane. Located on Marble Street within the iconic Bloc building by Bruntwood SciTech, Posie promises to deliver an exceptional blend of cocktails, small plates, and an unforgettable dining experience.
The Vision Behind Posie
The team behind Posie, who have already made waves with their first venue, are renowned for their creativity and passion for mixology and fine dining. Since their flagship restaurant opened in 2021 at the former Bock Biere site, it has received local and national acclaim for its innovative cocktails and thoughtfully curated menu. Now, with Posie, they seek to push the boundaries even further.
Joe White, co-owner of Posie, shared: “Our goal is to deliver remarkable experiences with a focus on experimentation and creativity. Posie will be a place where guests can enjoy a curated cocktail collection, a standout wine list, and a seasonal menu that brings out the best pairing opportunities for our drinks.”
What to Expect at Posie
The 1,800 sq. ft. venue offers an intimate and stylish setting with 50 covers spread across two levels. A centerpiece cocktail bar takes pride of place, offering a unique vantage point for diners and drinkers alike. Expect a carefully designed menu of bar snacks, sharing plates (including oysters), and an excellent coffee program.
The drinks menu will cater to cocktail enthusiasts and beyond, featuring craft beers, an extensive selection of wines, and premium coffee options. Whether you’re here for an evening drink, a relaxed brunch, or a casual coffee catch-up, Posie aims to leave a lasting impression.
Inside the Iconic Bloc Building
Situated within the cutting-edge Bloc building, Posie is surrounded by a rich environment that includes a wellness suite, gym, co-working spaces, and even one of Manchester’s largest green walls. Bloc’s innovative design contributes to Posie’s concept of blending creativity with community, offering both indoor and al-fresco dining options.
Enhance the Experience
For cocktail lovers looking to recreate this extraordinary experience at home, we recommend trying the Tanqueray No. Ten Gin. Known for its citrus-forward notes, this premium gin is perfect for crafting your favorite cocktails.
