Bar

The Bar at 20 Stories stands as a destination in its own right. It is a place to meet friends, enjoy a date, settle in for pre-dinner drinks or stay late into the evening. The bar shifts naturally from relaxed afternoons to a lively night-time atmosphere, making it one of the most recognisable spots in the building.

Rooftop lounge with modern outdoor seating, potted plants, and metal bird sculptures, surrounded by glass walls offering a panoramic city skyline view under a partly cloudy sky.

Terrace

The terrace is one of the defining spaces at 20 Stories, with trees rising two storeys high and open views across Manchester. A lounge bar sits beneath a canopy of greenery, with atmospheric lighting that transforms the space from daytime relaxation to evening energy.

The terrace is available to enquire about for groups of 6 or more. Walk-ins are welcome for groups of up to 5. Outdoor tables cannot be reserved.
