EdnaKrabappe   14 #2 Posted May 26, 2008 Lot of bars down the Deansgate area and also some good bars in the Northern quarter. My favourite club is South which is Clint Boon's place but it's a nightmare to get in usually (I've queued for over an hour before) but it's so worth it once you are in. I like indie rock though and that's what they play in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
monty789 Â Â 10 #3 Posted May 27, 2008 hiya I havent been in a while and things like anywhere constantly change. It may be worth going to tourist info and asking the younger ones in there! Thats what we have done before. Castlefield is nice with a variety of pubs but is a bit out of town. There are a few clubs and late bars in Deansgate docks and deansgate (the road) is pretty busy. Have a great night! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
emmie   10 #4 Posted May 27, 2008 don't touch peter street with a barge pole unless you are a big fan of chavs!! the northern quarter has some really funky bars and a good atmosphere. manchester tends to be in sections. deansgate has some nice bars and there are some good clubs off there too but ednakrabbe is right - south is a great club. you do tend to have to queue but if you ring up they may put you on the guest list. #deansgate locks is pretty good if you want an array of bars and they are all like mini clubs. they tend to have a bar with dj on one level and a dance floor with a dj playing dif music downstairs. pretty good to be honest but again as with most places in manchester, hope you don't mind queueing!!!

DippyDore   10 #6 Posted May 28, 2008 Get down Canal Street mate - that's where you want to head for. It'll be a bit of an eye opener for any Sheffield Farm boys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Tyranna   10 #11 Posted June 2, 2008 For anyone who is Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual (Me)/ transgendered, Manchester is Nirvana! All the pubs, bars and clubs in the Canal Street area between Piccadilly train station, Oxford Road train station, and the Coach Station, are 'Gay' but many of them DO welcome 'mainstream' custom, although some of my fellow Gays do moan at times that there are too many 'straights'/'straight women' there... Many of the larger clubs offer entertainment, such as dancers and drag queens, and several of the bars serve excellent food. My favourite establishments include the pub style venues Napoleons, Paddys Goose and New York New York, which are favourites with the transgender/Transvestite/Drag Queen community, and if you are fine with colourful, exciting and unusual company, pay a visit to these sometime!
