Miracle on Cross Street, the festive pop-up bar hidden beneath Salt Dog Slims on Bow Lane in Manchester city centre, is coming back this Christmas after a three-year break.

The bar was last open in 2023. It will reopen on Thursday 19 November and run seven days a week until Wednesday 23 December 2026, a five-week run.

Tickets cost £20 per person and include a festive drink on arrival and a Christmas goody bag to take home. Mince pies and Quality Street are included during the visit.

Every guest also gets a scratch card to use upstairs at Salt Dog Slims, with prizes including free shots and hot dogs and a chance to win £500 in cash.

Michael Wood, head of bar operations for Miracle on Cross Street, said: "It has been three years since we last opened the doors and, while guests can expect the same sense of fun, escapism and Christmas spirit, we've refined the experience and added some special new touches for 2026."

The pop-up will also give visitors a first look at what is coming from MDNT, the late-night cocktail bar that normally occupies the space beneath Salt Dog Slims, ahead of its return in the new year.

Bookings are open now through the venue's website, and the organisers expect high demand.
