Going to Manchester Uni to see Milburn end of this month and then hopefully will be heading into town for a night out after the gig.

Never been up there before so if anyone has any recommendations on where to go at night and any ideas where we can stay for relatively cheap? It'll only be for one night.

What kind of night out are you looking for? Manc is a pretty poor night out tbh. Pretentiousness rules.

There are a couple of indie places that aren't bad apparently, and the Northern Qtr. is bringing the nightlife in the city up a lot

If you want Indie, 5th Avenue or 42nd Street. Any taxi driver will take you there.

Bakedgoods · 1 Oct 2006 at 15:41

Indie bars sound pretty appealing, would just be good to have a few places to keep an eye out for when we head up there.

R.O.S.S.I · 1 Oct 2006 at 15:46

Yeh 5th Avenue or 42nd Street would probs be your best port of call. Oh and also The Late Rooms is good for indie aswell.

Canal Street ?

I'm curious about this too, off to see Wolfmother next month and haven't been out in Manchester since the days of the Megadogs

Not a bad night out actually, if a tad expensive. Only 'good' if you like cheesy crap music.

Although I've lived in Manchester all my life, I never got into the clubbing scene, so does anyone know what the Roadhouse is like?

not as big as you'd expect, and depends who's playing.

what date will you be there?

maybe check out who's playing at any of the live music venues and get tickets (M.E.N Arena, Academy, Carling Apollo etc).

here's a couple of links might help you decide: -

If it's indie you want they're the ones to go to really

Looking at you profile you're a student, 5th Ave and 42nd Street are more "Studenty" than the late rooms imo, very cheap drinks too. Go earlyish though as they're very popular and have massive queues normally

(Looking at your profile we share the same birthday too, sweet

)

For cheaps drinks you can't go wrong with 5th ave.

MrWhippy · 2 Oct 2006 at 00:01

oh, if it's cheap and cheesy/sleazy student nights you're after,

tuesday - club trop at the academy.
friday/saturday - the bop at jabez clegg.

and some more general info...

The Pat · 2 Oct 2006 at 05:09

Trust me from experience Jabez Clegg is not somewhere I'd recommend.

One of my mates works there at the mo, but yeah I know what you mean, you can't really go wrong with fallowfield if you want a student night, if you are looking for a more clubby night you could go around oldham street and go towards sankys or the northen qtr.

If you just want a plain and simple night go along deansgate and then towards deansgate locks.

They are a lot of smaller clubs but with out being in manchester atm, I couldn't tell you if they were any good.

I've only been to Manchester to see Spurs play a few times and one other time to see Robbie Williams.

I'm taking the wife there for a weekend staying in the Marriot, then going to see George Michael in November. She can't wait
