Society Mcr opens at Barbirolli Square

25 May 2021

Medlock has been keeping busy over at Manchester’s Barbirolli square. The transformation of a former bar restaurant into Society MCR - a market hall drinking, dining and music experience, is now complete and open to the public.

Located next to popular landmarks such as Bridgewater Hall and the Midland hotel, the venue will attract a healthy footfall of eager revellers ready to sample the eclectic choice of street food and sample the home-brewed craft beers and signature cocktails from Vocation brewery.

Working closely with Manchester-based architects 5Plus, Medlock fitted out the new venue for hospitality trailblazers, Richard Sweet and Nick Gregory over at Pop City. Having already built a reputation for regenerating existing spaces into food-and-drink led community hubs, Society is their latest offering.

The modern dining experience is made up of five individual open-plan kitchen areas, a spacious communal dining area and an eye-catching mezzanine for a more private space.

We wish the Society team every success with this exciting venture.
