The new venture comes from the team behind 10 Tib Lane

The team behind one of Manchester’s most popular independent eateries, 10 Tib Lane (a venue that consistently bags a top spot in our Hot 50 listing) has announced they will be bringing a brand-new venture to the city this Autumn. 

Posie, a drinks-led social spot with ‘cocktails and conversation’ at its forefront, will be joining Bruntwood SciTech’s Bloc building, taking over a 1800 sq ft unit with space for up to 50 covers across two levels. 

The drinks menu will feature an extensive and innovative cocktail collection, alongside a selection of wines, craft beer and coffee, allowing the space to transition between day and night. 

The kitchen will serve seasonal small plates, designed to complement the drinks on offer - think oysters, bar snacks and sharing dishes. 

Joe White, Co-owner of Posie, says: “We all grew up working in bars, restaurants & music venues with a passion for cocktails, cementing ourselves in some of the best hospitality spots in Manchester. 

“Since opening 10 Tib Lane we have gained a reputation for great food with an inviting atmosphere, along with a delicious drinks menu. With our next venture, we really want to showcase our freedom to be experimental and creative, and make some of the best cocktails in the city. 

“Posie will blend expertise and passion to craft unforgettable experiences, showcasing a thoughtfully curated cocktail menu, complemented by a carefully chosen wine list, sharing plates and coffee programme. We’re dedicated to creating moments that linger long after the last sip. Whether you’re here for a glass of wine and a snack, cocktails or a cup of coffee, we promise Posie will be a memorable experience for everyone.”
