Cask and Kiln

Well known local bar managers Aaron Wood and Jack Foster-Currie have branched out on their own with Chorlton’s first whisky bar. With its leather seating, artwork by cutting edge local artists, graffiti walls and the industrial vibe of exposed brickwork, reclaimed wood and corrugated metal, Cask and Kiln attracts both whisky enthusiasts and a cool local crowd. Its great selection of whiskies includes Scotch, Irish, American and Japanese varieties along with a small cocktail menu and craft beers. Says Aaron: “Chorlton’s always been a great spot for independents and for trying something different. No one else in this area specialises in whisky so it’s a good gap in the market to really differentiate us from the other bars. It gives people a specific reason to come to our bar. It’s also a more intimate customer base in Chorlton, which will allow us to build good and hopefully long lasting relationships.”
