Newmor Bring Glamour to Manchester’s New Hidden Gem
The idea of a ‘secret bar’ might seem outdated in our age of social media, but Dear Sailor, Manchester’s latest addition, managed to maintain an air of mystery prior to its opening. Located in Spinningfields, Dear Sailor draws inspiration from the prohibition-era jazz speakeasies of 1930s Tokyo, evoking the heady romance of Japan’s underground drinking dens. Designed by AXI Architecture & Interior Design Studio in collaboration with Telegraph Furniture, Dear Sailor’s interior beautifully captures the opulent and atmospheric ambiance of the time.
