Elysium Whisky Bar is on Princess Street, right in the thick of Deansgate. It's got a perfect 5-star rating from 19 Google reviews, which is a good start. Open early, at 7:30 AM on weekdays, it runs until 11 PM most nights, with later closing times on Friday and Saturday (12:30 AM). Sundays start a bit later at 10 AM, closing at 11 PM. They offer a range of alcohol, including beer, cocktails, hard liquor, and wine, and you can get food there too. It seems like a casual place, good for groups. You can eat in or grab takeout. With 26 photos available online, you can get a good sense of the vibe before you go. While the early opening hours might be great for some, it's not clear if it's for coffee or something stronger, which could be confusing. It seems like a decent spot for a relaxed drink with friends.
