New Look Terrace at The Lowry Hotel



The Terrace at The Lowry Hotel has had a makeover with new lounge furniture to provide guests and visitors with a relaxed environment to sip cocktails and dine ‘al fresco’ all year round. The Terrace, which stretches 50ft, is the longest in the whole of the City and is bathed in sunshine throughout the summer months, but also boasts a 30m canopy, with year round heaters to cater for the unpredictable weather.

Just a stones throw from the city centre, The Terrace is a real sun trap during a summer day and offers a sophisticated yet relaxed environment to while away those summer days with your friends or to conduct a spot of business with your clients. The Terrace offers views over the River Irwell, and is open from sunrise to sunset, offering light bites from The River Bar menu or why not sample the menus from The River Restaurant.

The team from The River Bar have devised a range of cocktails all priced at £10.00 including Ten Thymes a quintessentially British version of Mojito! Or try the Raspberry and Apricot Breeze a tall refreshing drink. The Le Coeur Rouge or The Red Heart is a zingy, yet sweet martini. The Watermelon Martini is
a well balanced and delicious cocktail. Finally the Cucumber Collins is a seasonal twist on a classic Collins, using fresh cucumber as well as Hendricks, a Gin infused with rose petal and cucumber.

The Terrace is open every day from 11:00 – 23:00 and serves light bites, lunch and dinner and of course cocktails !
