Coco Tang is a unique, independent multi-concept brand that has defined the Nottingham hospitality scene since 2008.
Our flagship venue is a hybrid destination: an authentic Vietnamese Kitchen, Speciality Coffee Roastery and Oriental Bakery by day, and a sophisticated speakeasy and nightclub by night.
We are obsessed with detail, authenticity, and creating an escape from the city. Now, we are bringing this same level of passion and high-energy hospitality to Manchester.
