Reviews of Manchester Gin

Got the gin tasting tour as a birthday present. It was such a good night. The host was very knowledgeable and funny, the gin was exquisite. I now need to go back and do the gin making experience. Went into the bar afterwards for a cocktail, I would highly recommend this too.

We had a great experience at Manchester Gin. We were gifted a voucher for “Gin Making for Two” and used it on a Sunday. Our host was really friendly, knowledgable and made this lots of fun. We were welcomed with a cocktail, followed by a gin tasting and tour, and at the end distilled our own bottle of gin. My only comment would be to spread the tasting over a longer period of time (at least during the gin making experiences) as it was a bit much drinking all five varieties one after another! I’d recommend this to anyone who likes gin.

What a great time! Hanging out with Ste was a blast! We learned a lot about Manchester, some strong women figures of Manchester including Wendy as well as booze production! Beautiful products and beautiful people behind it all. Thanks for a great time!

C. O.

The gin distillery tour and tasting was just fabulous: informative, fun and boozy! The cocktails afterwards were just sublime. Thank you for a wonderful evening. Next time it's Sunday lunch preceded by a bacon bloody Mary!

J. K.

We did the gin tasting experience with Ste. It was a really interesting insight into the story behind the gin. The tasting was good too. Need to book the gin making.

H. M.

Great gin distillery, Ste was amazing and gave us a really good insight into the story of Manchester Gin. The vibe in the bar was great and we felt welcomed! The tasters of gin were amazing. Overall an amazing experience!!

Went on the Gin Making Experience last weekend with my hubby. Had an amazing afternoon learning about the history of gin and sampling many gins. Also came away with our own unique bottle of gin which we made. Well worth the money and cannot been recommending this all week. Thank you to Jackson the host who was brilliant.

R. C.

We had a great time on the Distillery tour and tasting. It was actually more of a talk and then being shown the stills they use to make the spirits but this didn’t stop it being brill. Jackson was a great tour guide and we learnt so much about Manchester gin, the history of gin as well as how to properly taste spirits so they don’t burn! Would definitely recommend this tour. We then enjoy a couple of tasty cocktails in the bar afterwards. Will come back for food another time as it looked good too!

We did the Distillery Tasting on the 16 April at 12.30pm and it was amazing! Jamie was our host and he totally made the session. He was funny, knowledgeable, entertaining and the whole experience with the other guests was great. The bar is beautiful, the Maitre D was genuinely lovely, helpful and welcoming and the staff behind the bar were simply the best. Great experience all round and will definitely be back! Thank you to everyone! Paul and Eva x

Great experience at Manchester gin. Very passionate about there work and a brilliant distillery tasting experience. Steve was a top considering it was his first tour. Drinks in the restaurant were great and the food is out of this world! Will be visiting again.

M. B.

This is a great place, all the staff are first class very friendly and really helpful .We did the gin experience and made our own bottles of gin , not tried it yet so fingers crossed , I can't remember the person's name who guided us through the gin making experience but he was from Middlesbrough , really great bloke full of knowledge and he introduced me to wild spirit manchester gin with rosemary and black olive tonic .....absolutely amazing. Well worth a visit and totally recommend the gin making .

N. T.

Great afternoon out! Went as part of a hen do and was a great addition to the day. Great facts about gin enjoyed by all even if didn’t like gin!

A. C.

We had such a great time taking a distillery and tasting tour of Manchester Gin. Our host was knowledgeable, friendly, and funny. We went in knowing almost nothing about gin and didn't feel at all out of place. We left having a much higher appreciation of gin. The tour is a great way to sample good spirits and learn about a small business that's been built on a passion for the city of Manchester.

M. M.

The tour was a gift for Mother’s Day , had the best time, the tour was great, Edward was very funny and knowledgable. Love how the stills were named after strong historical women( including Wendy ) the gin was of course lovely , food and cocktails were amazing , all the staff lovely to speak to and helpful. Can’t wait to visit again and make my own gin 😁

A. R.

Took the gin tour with my wife and two friends. A good experience lead by a very knowledgeable host. Why only 3 stars. £11 for a gin and tonic beforehand is a bit steep!! Shame.

H. G.

My sister and I did the gin making experience. So much fun and learnt a lot. Jackson was a great host and clearly very passionate about brewing and the distillery. Coctails in the bar after were delicious!

T. W.

The couples Gin making experience was so much fun! The session leader, Ste, was really funny and personable, which meant we had a brill time. Also, we came away with some really nice home-made gin :)

S. W.

Treated my partner for his 50th .. was an amazing experience .. the crazy Scotsmen was so funny and full of information .. had us all in stitches.. and omg 2 gins and 5 neat shots later .. ta da very own gin! .. fabulous Sunday roast followed.. highly recommended

E. T.

My partner & I won an instagram giveaway to a gin tasting & tour and had the best time here! We were greeted by friendly staff & given a G&T on arrival. The tasting gave us an insight into the business & great understanding of the different gins. Thanks to you guys, I now enjoy raspberry gin on the rocks! We stayed afterwards for a set dinner & the food was phenomenal! Can’t wait to come back after lockdown. Xx

P. C.

A great gin distillery experience with Steve

A. V.

A beautiful tasting experience that had lots of information and character. Definitely a must-go in lovely Manchester! My fav is their raspberry gin!

M. N.

Highlight of our weekend in Manchester! Did the tour and gin tasting and it was brilliant. Our guide was excellent, very good stories around Manchester and Gin in general. A lot of information on the process without being too technical. Three Little Words their bar / restaurant is a delightful place to sit and all the staff and super friendly and helpful with their recommendations. Can't speak highly enough of the place and we'll certainly be back!

M. K.

Amazing tour / tasting with everything you need to know about gin! The guide was funny and fun, Only problem was that I didn't have room in my bags to buy some bottles!

I. B.

Great evening at Manchester Gin!We were lucky enough to have an amazing guide to our Gin Tour and the experience was amazing! It was a blast! The Gin and service was great and the atmosphere fantastic! Absolutely recommend for all Gin lovers!

P. N.

Amazing place, please try the Gin distillery tour and guided tasting it was fantastic. Great nte out

A. G.

Brilliant gin tour hosted by Joe. Very informative and gave a great tour. Would return and recommend (lots of gin included too)

S. R.

Myself and my partner had an amazing time tonight. Jamie made our experience the best it could have been! I’ve certainly never met someone with such a passion for their job, he is an absolute asset to the company. We did the Gin making experience and we enjoyed every second of it! I’d 100% recommend this to everyone! I cannot speak highly enough of Jamie and how he made us feel relaxed and chill especially seeing we were the only two on the experience. Well worth the price!. Also buy one of the candles, they smell amazing!.

J. W.

What a fantastic night, myself and my Son did the Gin Experience last night. From start to finish it was brilliant, we had a few Gins before the experience started in the bar and all I can say is the staff are a credit to the company, so professional and so friendly, making us feel instantly welcome. James the Gin Experience guide/instructor, what a brilliant bloke, his explanation of the Gins and tasting notes, the story of Manchester Gin were great, the passion and enthusiasm he showed during the evening made the experience truly great. To cap it all off we've made a bottle of our own to bring home. If you want a fantastic experience in a great setting and you like Gin, this is the one for you.

j. w.

Such a great evening, me and my partner did the gin making for two experience and we where the only ones to do it, it felt like our own private experience. Jamie was great and very knowledgeable about every aspect! One of the best nights out I've ever had 😊😊😊

R. M.

We went to the gin making tour on Saturday 24th July as part of a hen party and had the BEST few hours there. Learnt so much about gin and tasted some amazing ones too. Our guide was so informative and the customer service we received whilst we were there was second to none. They even got us in for lunch after our tour despite being incredibly busy, which was delicious (that hoisin Mayo dip! *drool*). I’d highly recommend.

J. D.

Graham was an amazingly good tour guide .Informative, experienced and passionate. We had a wonderful afternoon.Drinking ,eating and learned Ng about the history of the Manchester gin company. We would heartily recommend it to any gin lover.

S. M.

You really should come and make your own gin, plus the Sunday lunch is very very good

J. R.

The Gin experience was absolutely amazing. It is good value for money. The host was funny and very knowledgeable. It was an immersive experience, there was no script to read off for the host. The conversation flowed and was steered by our questions, a perfect way to make the experience unique. My take away was; I now understand what type of gin I like and the common thread that links them together. I am still waiting for my own gin, that I made on the day, to mature and cannot wait to taste it. It was an experience I would definitely repeat so I can explore new recipes of gin. We also took the opportunity to eat at the Three Little Words, the cocktails (99 reasons) were delicious. The food was amazing loved the small plate idea is brilliant, just the right quantities.

J. C.

Grate gin experience. Awesome staff and amazing gins. Thank you!

C. A.

An incredible experience taking the gin school to create our own bottle of gin. Jamie was knowledgeable, interesting and entertaining. Would 100% recommend.

A. K.

Such a lovely place and great Gin too!! Had a really good gin tasting with Dom, she knew her stuff and was very good! Definitely worth doing and would come again

L. B.

Went tonight for a gin experience and it was amazing. A lot of insight into the unique gin making process of Manchester gin and overall a great viby place. Jamie was our tour guide, perfect delivery :), will be back soon for some food and drinks.

N. B.

Loved every second of this, it was great fun and really interesting, we went on the distillery tour and Domanica was brilliant! First time we've ever done something like this and it surpassed all expectations, 100% will have to try the gin creation experience too!!

m. 2.

When my husband told me he had booked a distillery tour I really couldn't be bothered but OMG I really really enjoyed it. The tour guide (Jamie) was absolutely amazing, we had such fun and left feeling rather tipsy!!! Well worth avisit 🥴

C. I.

The Gin Making Experience was excellent, really informative and friendly. And you get to take away your own bespoke bottle of gin.

D. S.

Only stopped in for a quick drink while waiting for a train. Would highly recommend. Lots of strange ingredients in the gin cocktails, but they seemed to work.

S. R.

Had an absolutely brilliant day here, we did the gin tour and tasting then had lunch at the restaurant. Jamie ran our tour and he was a star, so entertaining! All the staff were fantastic. The story of the owners is adorable too. I thought the tour was great value for money for the different gins you get to try out, plus we got a discount in the shop afterwards. The lunch was brilliant too, really good food (and more gin!). And the decor inside is just gorgeous too. Overall an excellent day out, I would highly recommend.

D. M.

Myself and My Wife went on the Gin Experience on Bank Holiday Monday for our Wedding Anniversary. What a wonderful evening we had. Sampled the fins and made our own bottles of Manchester Gin. Jake who took the class was very knowledgeable and presented excellently. Also got to sample the New Manchester Rum that was launched last week. Was worth every penny.

G. M.

Excellent gin tasting experience, the young lady new her stuff. Meal after, Sunday Roast, was good. Only downer, the bill was calculated incorrect 3 times. Maybe a little attention to final invoice/bill would be welcome

Z. M.

This was such a great gin tour, effortlessly and enthusiastically conducted by James. We went with the £20 tour, would have loved the more expensive tour but maybe next time, and we really felt we got our money's worth. Loved James enthusiasm throughout and we also purchased 4 bottles of Manchester Gin - 2 of which were versions concocted by James himself. Will definitely come back again. Cheers!!

C. G.

We had a few drinks plus the tour and tasting session. The tour and tasting was great value - got to try loads of different gins. The guide really new his gin and the history of the brewery. Plus the drinks were lovely. Thanks!

J. S.

Had the tour with the gin making lessons with James who was absolutely brilliant. Had a meal afterwards and was really well impressed, the staff are a credit to the establishment and I would have no hesitation in recommending this place for a visit and will definitely call again. Absolutely brilliant 👍👍👍👍

T. B.

Amazing evening at Manchester gin distilling our own unique bottle's of gin James our host was fantastic throughout our experience he was enthusiastic and dedicated and knowledgeable and great company . 10 /10 🍹🍸👍🌈

S. R.

We did the tour and tasting last week and couldn’t recommend it enough! It was really good to hear how the company came about and James was really informative yet fun which made the experience even better! The bar and restaurant were great, we didn’t eat there but the food looked nice, but we had a great cocktail in the bar. We enjoyed it that much we booked to go back to take the class.

D. R.

We booked as soon as the distillery reopened after lockdown for our anniversary gift to ourselves. We’re big gin fans and we’ve done a couple of distillery tours - but this one was different. Rather than focussing purely on the technicalities of gin making, Dominique gave us a fascinating insight into Manchester Gin as a brand and its real family ethos. It was relaxed and fun and the G&T was out of this world. The gin tasting was informative and really enjoyable - and the staff warm and friendly. It’s clear they LOVE their jobs. Wouldn’t hesitate to do it again and again - and the restaurant is out of this world! 😍

S. J.

My fiancé and I went for the gin tour and making experience and it was so good! Jimmy and James were both really knowledgeable or how the gin was make and about the company in general. We came away with 4 bottles of gin (2 we made and 2 we couldn't resist buying!) and would definitely recommend it to our friends and family. The bar area was lovely as well and had a great vibe! If you're thinking of going, do it! You won't regret it!

A. G.

What an amazing place. My partner and I have always loved Manchester Gin and followed their progress so when they announced the opening of the distillery and Three Little Words we couldn't wait to visit...and we weren't disappointed. The gin tour was brilliant, very informative and heart warming with stories of how it all began and how it has evolved from there. The gin school was really interesting, more so than I thought it would've been. This has just made us love this company even more. We even briefly met the owners and their dog! The venue itself is done to a high standard with great attention to detail. It's a fab setting anyway but the way they've done it is pretty awesome, quirky and very stylish. The staff are friendly without being over the top and know their stuff. I probably sound like I'm going over the top but I honestly can't praise this place enough, visit today you won't be disappointed. This company have got it just right and deserve the praise and good press they get :) Thanks!

N. H.

Good collection of gin. But you have to book ahead of your visit.

A. B.

Fun and enjoyable gin tasting experience.

C. L.

This is a truly beautiful venue tucked away on one of the up and coming side streets of Manchester. The decor is stunning and modern but with a cosy and inviting feel. The staff are welcoming and chatty and nothing is too much trouble for them. The cocktail menu is outstanding and I certainly intend to try every one! The selection of Manchester Gin is fantastic and it's well worth sampling them all. The food is delicious and presented in a modern fashion but I would like to see more vegan options as at breakfast and brunch in particular the menu is quite limited for those on a plant based diet. The Gin Tour is good fun and it's great to try all the gins but it does need some work as there wasn't much structure to it and the tasting was rushed and without much information given about the variations. We did attend on their second week of opening though so I'm sure that this will improve in time and I certainly wasn't put off from attending again. My only criticism is that the bar use plastic straws. In a time of climate change emergency and with all other businesses trying to reduce their plastic waste and single use plastic this seems like a bad decision, especially when there are plenty of other alternatives out there such as paper, bamboo and stainless steel. Three Little Words is doing so much elsewhere with their carbon free dining that this issue really does need addressing. Overall a great bar with amazing drinks, good food and a welcoming atmosphere. Well worth a visit!

R. G.

Great experience the tour guide was knowledgeable. Nice to get a insight of the business and the gins.

P. P.

Amazing afternoon experiencing the gin tour, tasting and gin making with 20 colleagues! Would thoroughly recommend for big groups as an activity or alternatively for couples or smaller groups wanting a classy bar or restaurant away from the crowds of the city centre! A real hidden gem!!

A. C.

I ordered the virtual gin tasting experince for a special occasion and Manchster Gin were really accomdating in making sure this arrived in time as I ordered it pretty late. Great service and great gin.

S. B.

The gin making course is excellent - would really recommend! Great value for money, and came away having crafted a bottle of not-half-bad gin feeling pretty proud and very tipsy 😉

D. G.

Fantastic taste and a true rise from a great start the story is from the hearts of the producers of the Manchester Gin company. Well worth a try and to be kept for the special occasion. Go try a great Gin from Manchester

R. B.

Really enjoyed the distillery tour and had a great time in the bar, would recommend to anyone.

M. F.

Excellent tasting session led by Dominique, really nice gin too!

S. H.

Great experience - Great gin and good food. I would highly recommend.

A. S.

We were bought the Gin Tasting Tour as a Christmas gift, and it is was a great present. Jamie was fab, and made it a very fun evening.

C. W.

A great time making and tasting gin with James, who kept us entertained at the same time as teaching us about the making of gin.

L. R.

We did a distillery tour at the weekend. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgable and fun, we learnt a lot about the gin making process and fell in love with the story of the Manchester Gin distillery. The guided tasting was an amazing value for money sampling five incredible gins, we are already planning to return soon for the Gin School! 100% recommended, you will not regret your visit to the Manchester Gin Distillery!

L. B.

Great experience, tour was efficient, and thorough. Took home a bottle of Overboard. One day, we’d love to see Manchester Gin in the US.

D. B.

Purchased a bottle of the Wild Spirit Gin for a family member. Unbelievable taste and the fact that we knew ingredients were all sourced locally really backed up the fact that Manchester Gin is THE Manchester Gin
