Dan Berger is the man behind Manchester's Blinker, a classic-style cocktail bar that opened its doors in May 2022. The critically acclaimed bar's pared-back, seasonal approach is inspired by its namesake, an often-forgotten three-ingredient cocktail called The Blinker. With a monthly changing menu based on four in-season flavours, as well as dedicated Martini and Old Fashioned menus, there’s an artfully mixed serve for all cocktail lovers. blinkerbar.co.uk
