Head In The Cloud (23)

Alright, it's not the best picture in the world as
i) It was taken with a mobile phone camera and, despite the advances of technology, they've a long way to go before they start knocking on the doors of Nikon, Canon et al
ii) It was taken through a window, and it was raining...

...but I hope you get some sort of an idea of the view you get from Cloud 23, the cocktail bar that is set 23 floors up of the new Beetham Tower in Manchester City Centre.

It's definitely worth a visit if you're celebrating a birthday, anniversary or any other special occasion with your beloved, or with your friends, and you're also guaranteed a great view of Manchester on the move. Just a few tips:

1. Be prepared to queue up to get in.
2. Take plenty of money (cocktails average about £8 a go)
3. Dress smart - no trainers or even "smart casual" shoes. Come booted and suited, or else you won't get in.
4. Enjoy the view - it's quite strange realising how the city you've lived in all your life looks so different from 23 floors up
