ZOUK has just reopened its outdoor terrace after giving it a £200,000 refurb to transform it into an all-year, all-weather, chic dining, cocktail and sheesha space.
The spacious new terrace features comfy booth seating and LED lighting, plus lots of tropical greenery, creating a secret garden feel.
And to celebrate, they're giving away a party there for six people, including sheeshas and four cocktails each, in January or February 2015.
Yes, it'll be the middle of winter. But in the new terrace the cold is kept at bay by powerful outdoor heaters, while you're protected from the elements by a retractable roof, glass walls, and screens of bamboo plants. Stylish and plush, it's as close as you can get to being indoors without being indoors.
Their sheesha specialist will offer you a range of high-quality, flavoured tobacco, such as apple, peppermint and orange. He'll then prepare the ornate hookah pipes, show you how to smoke if you've not experienced sheesha before, and leave you to relax.
And with four cocktails each, you can make a night of it. Zouk's cocktail menu is a little bit like their food: exotic and imaginative with lots of fresh ingredients.
The two combined – premium sheesha and hand-crafted cocktails – make their new terrace a must-go if you enjoy a smoke with your drink without getting cold. (You can smoke cigarettes out there too).
Go check it out at Zouk Manchester on Chester Street, just off Oxford Road.
