The rooftop bar in Manchester that's been named one of the best in Europe

One of Manchester's rooftop bars has just been named among the best in Europe, joining venues in Amsterdam, London and Ibiza.

20 Stories in Spinningfields ranked highly in the top 50 list, beating venues in other cities from a sky bar in Berlin to a bar with a view of the Venice skyline in Italy.

The list has been put together by travel guide Big 7 Travel, and was compiled by analysing online reviews from Google, TripAdvisor, as well as previous media coverage.

In the 50-strong list, 20 Stories placed in 19th place.

The guide said: "The rooftop terrace has fast become one of the must-be places in the city: it has has trees scaling two stories high and an outdoor lounge bar serving cocktails and craft beers."

20 Stories opened in Manchester in 2018 and became Manchester's highest restaurant overnight - despite technically being three storeys below the Cloud 23 bar in Beetham Tower.

The D&D-owned bar is estimated to be about one metre higher, and boasts incredible panoramic views of the city skyline.

On most days, you can see all the way to the Peak District from its stylish roof terrace.

The indoor restaurant area had to close for three days this week after staff were told to self-isolate, though the terrace has stayed open for drinks.

20 Stories was beaten to the top spot by The Culpeper in London, which was crowned number one in Europe.
