Dusk ’til Pawn
So ironic it almost hurts, Manchester's contribution to the form of the speakeasy is hidden behind what appears to be a bone fide pawnbroker. Superb cocktails.
Bijou Club
Fueled by a seemingly endless supply of local football and music stars—and their followers—this is the ultimate canal-side VIP hangout. Be prepared to queue.
Lock 91
Quirky, quaint and welcoming, it's today's reworking of the corner pub with a lot of welcome extras for evening revellers. Relaxed times or pumped-up parties.
Cloud 23
This has to be one of Manchester's swankiest, if not highest, lounge bars. A cocktail-loving-sightseer's dream!
Gorilla
Bar, restaurant, live venue and nightclub in one, this local gem will give you a night to remember. As long as you don't overindulge in the fun, that is.
Olde Boar’s Head Inn
No Manchester experience would be complete without ye olde pub, and this one certainly fits that category. Fabulous historical tales await at the bar!
