Henry C

Henry C is a cosy neighbourhood cocktail bar in Chorlton with a heavy New Orleans influence.

As with many newer bars and dining spots in Chorlton, its premises used to be a shop, with large windows looking out at the goodie-two-shoes grocery, Unicorn. But everything in moderation, right? You can pick up a tote full of chickpeas for the week and grab an Old Fashioned as a reward.

The cocktails are what get people really excited here. The Negronis are on point (and are only a fiver on Thursdays, by the way). Fancy something a bit different? They do clever and not OTT twists too, adding things like black pepper gin, Thai basil and Lapsang Souchong, with thankfully not a cocktail umbrella in sight.
