Flawd is a bit of a cheeky inclusion on the list given it's slap-bang in the heart of the Ancoats Marina and a bit of a walk from the Northern Quarter.
However, this neighbourhood natural wine bar and bottle shop is more than worth the trip for the vibe alone.
Not only does Flawd offer an ever-changing list of carefully selected wines alongside speciality beer but their small plates are the perfect accompaniment to any drink you do end up choosing from their stacked shelves of choice.
Be sure to go in summer when punters spread out on to the marina to enjoy a glass of vino in the sun - it's all very European.
