A 400-person capacity cocktail bar with karaoke rooms is set to open in Manchester city centre later this month.
Simmons Bar will open its doors at premises on Deansgate, where the former Botanist venue stood, with "free bar parties" on October 24 and 25.
The bar is known for its happy hour, and the Manchester venue will have two karaoke rooms, DJs, live music, and free entry every night.
Simmons has a chain of cocktail bars based across London, known for their decor, drinks deals, retro gaming consoles, and neon-lit interiors
The bars are "a favourite among partygoers and after-work crowds", with extended "happy hours", themed events, and late-night DJ sets.
Owner Nick Campbell said: "Manchester leads the way when it comes to nightlife, and we're excited to be able to be a part of it.
"We are keen to launch as we mean to go on, with a series of high-energy parties, including our famous free bar, which is first come, first served."
