Another vote for Deansgate, could book a cocktail making session at Vodka Revs - £25 a head, a good couple of hours of making cocktails, playing drinking games at your own private bar.

It really depends what kind of things your into, I'm off to Sankeys next Friday for a big night but that's not to everyone's tastes.

Post by: Luke1981 on 23 January 2013, 19:17: As above, Deansgate Locks are good, plenty of variety and there is a comedy store there as well! :grin:

Avoid the Printwork area of Manchester as its full of Chavs!

Post by: bobbarley on 24 January 2013, 18:36: Deansgate Locks has a couple of alright bars/clubs that are worth checking out. Check out Revs and Bar Bar's for cheap shots. Deansgate has a good mixture of cheap pubs and fancy bars. The Northern Quarter is a great night out, but a bit pricier as it's mainly cocktail bars. The bar are also smaller, so the chances of getting a large group of lads in is incredibly small.

The whole city is lined with Wetherspoons' mind you :grin:

Warehouse project has a couple of smaller events on in Feb. The main events are Sept-Dec, I went to a couple of them last year, some big nights out but it's got to be your thing.

Sankeys is good if you're into the music, otherwise it's just a bit of a dirty club full of pill heads. I'm there next Friday for Laidback Luke, then again on 15th for Paul Oakenfold, Jordan Suckley & Simon Patterson :cool:

Post by: gibby on 26 January 2013, 13:36: The strip club on Deansgate (no idea what it's called but it's the Victoria station side) is good if you like to pay a bit extra for a full dirty nude strip that will nearly make you cream your pants. :wink:

Post by: Winniee on 27 January 2013, 05:23: Sankeys is ok if you like staying in one place and listening to house music..

Short and sweet?
Head for deansgate lock and/or gay village (its not as scary as you think and a quality night out, coming from a straight man :) ) and AVOID printworks!
