Manchester Academy

Not the easiest location to find if you are coming by train, you have to go out the back end of Manchester station and right up some of Manchester’s most desolate streets to land at this venue which sits on the edge of a roundabout. There are a few bars surrounding the venue which […]

Fab Bar

This place is more commonly known as fabcafe the website for which is: http://www.fabcafe.co.uk/. Fab is a bar in one of the primary spots of Manchester, just off of Oxford Road, but with a small enough entrance not to be spotted by the masses. On entering you descend a dark staircase into the poorly […]

5th Avenue
A pleasent surprise awaits all who find 5th Avenue. Ironically enough it is on a road called Princess street so don’t go looking for 5th Avenue as we did cos you’ll end up in New York. The club night we went on (a saturday) was cheap to get in and entrance led down some […]

Manchester M.E.N Arena
This is a massive capacity venue, one of the largest I have ever been to and impressively it has many bars. I speak of the one on the 1st floor now which is quite surprisingly a mini venue in its own right which many tavbles and bar stools and a long bar […]

Squares (formerly called Square Bar)

My memory is very cloudy concerning this night out in Manchester mainly because this bar was so tastey!! Very cheap cocktails and i’m talking £3 odd for a cocktail and although there were long queues at the bar the place was not look packed the dance music poured out onto both […]

Billie Rox (formerly called Jumping Jacks)

The Portland street based club may very well have changed its name, in fact I tink it was doing so when I last went in. The place is huge. A cloakroom at the front leading into a massive dancefloor, side and end bars and a food bar. The place is […]

Grey Horse Inn

Ended up in here while waiting for a table at a nearby restuarant on valentines day. And lets just say it was quite romantic. Its cramped and noisey and the feel of an out of town pub in the centre of town in Manchester. The tables were messy and the crowd pushy and […]

AM - PM

I probably had the last drink in there before it closed recently on a friday night just as they were all clearing up in there. Dance music upstairs and drunkards down. The drinks were overpriced and I heard that it pulled in a lot of unwanted crowds for fights. So its gone now […]

Yates

To begin with this rather dominating white-house of a building in its own apart make-shift square seems to have been rather more segregated than honoured by having it stand-alone in this fashion. I normally like the Yates bars , I think they are a good alternative to Wetherspoons by providing cheap drinks and good music […]
