Dirty Blonde Brighton Cocktail Bar Review

Dirty Blonde Brighton Cocktail Bar Review

I'm a bridesmaid to my lovely friend and it is an honour to be asked to help towards probably one of the most happiest days of her life.  However, I think I took it a little too seriously with regards to the hen do and did become a pretty scary hen, sending demanding emails...and sending follow up demanding emails.  I'm quite surprised I didn't turn up with a whistle and stop watch monitoring and timing the fun-having.  On a serious note, the hen do appeared to have went well which included going to Dirty Blonde for a quick cocktail after dinner.

Cocktails at the Artisan Manchester

Cocktails at the Artisan Manchester

Wedding season beginneth and what precedes that is the hen party.  Whilst boys seem hell bent to make sure their stag have the worst, miserable time of their life, for girls it is about making sure the bride is happy.  This particular one was a very classy affair in Manchester with a spa day, followed by dinner and drinks at the Artisan.  (although I won't dwell the fact 90% of the hens turned up to their spa treatment late because of traffic exacerbated by the insane rain, the apartment we were staying at being a crime scene and the bride being late for her own hen dinner...).  Manchester is clearly hen metropolis; I spotted 5 parties whilst waiting at Manchester station - all distinctly varying in class.
