If you have been out in Lord Street’s ‘Northern Quarter’ you will have no doubt come across

the superb Bottle Room -a unique, quirky bar offering craft beers from all around the world – over a? thousand different bottles in fact! It is a stunning bar filled floor to ceiling with real ales and craft lagers.? The Bottle Room offers up a cosy atmosphere with board games, cheese boards and live entertainment most weekends.

But did you know that owners are Steven Lannagan and Samantha Lee have opened a sister bar just a few doors down?

Copper and Ivy opened in April and was Samantha’s inspiration.? After running a successful catering business that used her?passion for baking, Samantha’s dream was to have a coffee bar.??Copper and Ivy is?that dream and walking into it feels like walking into a dream!? The small but stunning venue is cosy, intimate and stylish.? The elegant booths are all set under a ceiling canopy made from a tree from Samantha’s mum’s garden!? It is covered in fairy lights and makes for a beautiful and unique setting for a coffee or cocktails.? The Cafe Bar offers a wide range of drinks and has a delicious menu with superb options for vegetarians or gluten free diets!

If you are out this weekend, we thoroughly recommend both venues!
