Raft

Get ready to raise the anchor and set sail for an irresistible dinner spot in Spinningfields. Here, the sea’s salt-infused breeze is distilled through the laid-back atmosphere of this glamorous ‘restaurant, club and Privé spaces’. Inspired by the vivid colours, tropical landscapes and nomadic sounds of far-flung adventures, this unique social hub is no stranger to adorning the Instagram feeds of the city's in-crowd.

Feel your toes wedged between silky sands and cold ceramic tiles as you’re transported to four corners of the globe, beginning along the trade route from Marrakech to Seville. Navigate shores and their culinary highlights - whether that be gambas rojas prawns or king crab gunkan. Prefer to stay closer to land then submit to the Head Chef’s exploration of dishes like dry aged BBQ Galician beef rib or Ko'rican chicken skewers. To quench your thirst, journey through a cocktail menu that spans the globe. Tropics, Orient, America and Europe are your last stops at Raft where the sandy beach is lined with Buddhas bearing exotic cocktails.

A live programme of DJs and performances from resident musicians and a late-night license keeps the party going right into the early hours so paddle on down to Manchester’s most exclusive corner and drift away.
