Due to popular demand, Kahlúa, the original Mexican coffee liqueur, today announces Kahlúa Coffee House, its first creative food and drink experience, located in Manchester’s Northern Quarter, is to extend its run and work in collaboration with bars across the city.
“…takeover of the Market Restaurant at 104 High Street, features two floors of Mexican inspired coffee cocktails…”
Inspired by the unique heritage of Veracruz, Mexico, Kahlúa Coffee House, a temporary takeover of the Market Restaurant at 104 High Street, features two floors of Mexican inspired coffee cocktails, food, free film screenings and free cocktail masterclasses.
Launched by local hospitality favourites Teacup on Thomas Street and cocktail masters The Liquorists, the vibrant venue opened on 29th March for a month but has proved such a big hit it’s now set to stay open for a second month, closing on the 26th May.
The hugely popular coffee and cocktail masterclasses with The Liquorists and Coffee Circle continue every Thursday, Friday and Saturday upstairs in the speakeasy style room, Salon de Kahlúa alongside the free film screenings on Thursdays at 8pm.
The Liquorists will be taking a break 9th-11th May, making way for guest bars from across the city to stage their own Salon de Kahlúatakeover. Hula, Epernay and Dusk Til Pawn are among the first bars to sign up to host (free) guest masterclasses. Plans are also underway for a special closing party on the final weekend (Sat 25th May) when Kahlúa Coffee House will be participating in Fiesta del Fuego (The Fire Party) collaboration – a raw and cooked chilli festival with competitions, games, bars and stalls, to be held on High Street.
Twitter followers are in for a treat as a host of special competitions, giveaways, promotions and special events will be offered exclusively to tweeters following @KahluaUK #Kahluacoffeehouse in the final month.
