My blogging game has gone off the rails recently and I'm slowly trying to get back into regular posting. I've just looked through my drafts and found quite a few posts that have been sat with pictures but no copy. I'm hoping these don't feel too out dates but in the view of openness and honesty I wanted to say these are from a while ago.

A good few weeks ago I went to the opening of Be At One bar, which is in Barton Arcade on Deansgate. Myself and some other bloggers were treated to cocktails and a first look of this incredible new bar (or not so new by the time I press publish) 



I arrived earlier than some of the other I'd arrange to meet and I didn't feel awkward waiting on my own as all the staff were friendly and had time to stop for a chat. The only thing I found awkward was the number of handshakes I gave. All the staff asked my name, gave their name and went in for a handshake. I'm not a handshake kinda gal, but I liked the element of introductions just not the handshake.

My initial reaction when I decide on a cocktail is to head to the Gin or Vodka sections, check the drink doesn't contain cream and  order but Be At One have a cunning plan to negate the element of rick in picking something you will like. As well as a page of the Top Ten Cocktails they have a wheel of choice. There is a selection of drink types, a selection of spirits for each style of drink and on the outside it gives you suggestions.
