A secret ‘gin speakeasy’ is all set to open up in Manchester’s burgeoning St. John’s neighbourhood. Called Project Halcyon, it’s the project of the Zymurgorium Distillery, a craft gin distillery that was operating prior to the pandemic.
It will now be launching an underground bar at the Department Bonded Warehouse, the refurbished 1800s red brick building on the Old Granada Studios site, and beneath the original cobbles of the Coronation Street set.
Project Halycon will feature a seasonal cocktail menu, using craft spirits and liqueurs actually produced on the site of the distillery, and a dedicated absinthe bar, while the parties it will be throwing will boast DJs, live music, spoken word and comedy.
