Star Wars-themed bar opens in Manchester
A Star Wars convention in Manchester will include a pop-up bar inspired by locations from the film series that aims to transport fans to a galaxy far far away.

As reported by the Manchester Evening News, the bar at an exhibition centre in Trafford Park forms part of the For The Love Of The Force convention.
Named the Cantina bar, the space will serve blue “bantha milk” cocktails, which Luke Skywalker first drinks in Star Wars Episode IV.
In the films blue milk could be found on most planets across the galaxy and was known for being rich, refreshing and sweet. The Cantina cocktail is made with Irish Meadow Country Cream, Red Square Vodka and a dash of blue food colouring.
Other cocktails on pour will be Wookie Juice, featuring Red Square Sloe Vodka, lemon juice and sugar syrup; a Princess Punch made with vodka, elderflower cordial, lemon juice and soda; and Jam Jar Binks, which blends Red Square Toffee Vodka with apple schnapps and lemon juice.
The bar features an Ewok village, Yoda’s Dagobah swamp and Jabba The Hutt’s palace complete with an eight-foot model of the slug-like creature.
Before the convention kicks off in December, the bar, which boasts a full size replica of the X-wing Starfighter, will host a series of events to whet attendees appetites.
Manager of the convention Andy Kleek hopes the cocktail bar will become a permanent fixture if it proves a success. For The Love Of The Force takes place at the Manchester Bowler’s Exhibition Centre on December 4-6.

Can you send me the postcode of the location please?
Thanks
So this is essentially a red square vodka event?? What a load of shite
Where exactly will this be!? More info please!!!!
We don’t get back to the UK until 7 December! I really hope this continues, despite it being in Manchester 😉
Were do I get tickets for the convention
Just question about the Star Wars bar. My friend from America is coming to England on the 18th of December and she is crazy about Star Wars. Is the bar going to be open through December?
I was wondering if this was Manchester new hampshire
Manchester n.h. ?
Love this theme. I can’t wait to visit the bar and have a couple of drinks. Really hits home for me and what I loved as a child.
What’s address and phone number for the bar? Will Lightsabers be aloud?
Is this legit? When & where does it open? Sounds amazing!!!
Hi there’
Just wondering how I’d go about booking a space here for two people and prices, thanks.

All bars in Manchester look like the scene from Star Wars so what’s new ?????
hi
Do you have to book a place? Or just turn up? And how long do it expect the bar to be open? x
Are you opening to the public at any time for even half hour spot
Is this where the after party is been held, as I have a ticket.
Are you taking bookings for this.
Ok, dipsticks, Which Manchester??? Manchester, CT? Manchester, MA? Manchester, England??? You guys forgot to put ALL OF THE INFORMATION INTO THE ARTICLE…
Read the article… As reported by the manchester evening news …
Bit of a giveaway to which manchester…
So only one manchester could possibly have a news outlet called the “manchester evening news”? that’s a large jump to a conclusion.
There was only ever one original Manchester… The fact that colonials took the name and stuck it on a shed at a crossroads does not make them Manchester.
www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/ Of course, it’s the BRITS!!!
So it’s a British magazine, the event is in Trafford Park, and all the cocktails feature Red Square, a vodka manufactured in Warrington, about half an hour outside Manchester. Plus there is only one major world city going by the name of Manchester.
I too wonder which Manchester it’s in?
Considering it’s a UK based website it doesn’t take much to figure out which Manchester it is…it doesn’t need to specify.
How do we buy tickets
