The 30 Best Retail stores in Manchester

“Tipples is an absolute gem nestled in our town—a haven for whisky enthusiasts and casual sippers alike. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm welcome by Greg. His passion for whisky shines through in every conversation, making the experience not just about purchasing a bottle but about discovering the stories and craftsmanship behind each selection. The shop itself is charming. We left Tipples with a fantastic bottle and smiles on our faces. This isn't just a shop; it's a delightful experience that we're definitely planning to revisit. If you're in town, Tipples is a must-visit destination for all whisky lovers.”

I was visiting with a friend and I’d been looking out for a new watch and I found one here that was a little different from what I was used to but Steven (with a V) was very friendly and helpful. I decided to purchase the watch and Steven kindly adjusted it twice by removing links to fit my wrist perfectly. I’m very happy with my new watch and the service I received !”

“I have been hunting for a good Asian clothing site to place orders from as others have been untrustworthy, then I came across this site and this is now my go-to to order clothes from!! The service I received was amazing and I got my order way before the given time frame! The clothes are as shown on the website and the lady behind it all was of great help as I needed to match a Kurta to some trousers. I just have to give 5 stars! Will definitely be placing another order soon!”
