    We had a fabulous night in Wood & Company. The cocktails were excellent and the service was superb. The waitress waa extremely knowledgable especially when a couple of our party were unsure what to choose. She gave them the perfect suggestions using their favourite spirit. It is definately one of our favourite places to go for drinks in Manchester.
