First look at waterside café and bar opening at Co-op Live with spectacular views

A new café and bar space has opened at Co-op Live - constructed out of upcycled storage containers.

With a stunning backdrop of the River Mersey and overlooking the Etihad stadium, the new Canalside space officially opens its doors on Monday (September 15) and will serve as a daytime café , co-working space, merch shop and event day bar.

The café will be open from 8am, serving coffee and locally-sourced snacks and lunches, including granola bars, cakes, tacos, and pastries, with a roll out of Detroit-style pizzas, fried chicken and halloumi fries into the evening. There are also self-serve beer and cider stations for quick ordering too.

Spread across two floors, Canalside will feature both indoor and outside seating alongside a stunning part-covered terrace on both levels overlookin
