Late-night Midweek Drinks In Manchester

Bunny Jackson’s Juke Joint, 1 Jack Rosenthal Street, Manchester, M15 4RA - Visit now

Bunny’s, referred to as BJ’s by teenagers, had a brief spell at B.Eat Street in 2017, on a site lodged awkwardly between Deansgate and Great Northern, but now it’s firmly based at the vibrant little culture zone that is First Street. Reliably busy in the evenings, in no small thanks to their crazy good 10p chicken wings offer. Expect an upbeat atmosphere with neon rock ‘n’ roll touches at this fast-becoming-legendary venue.

The Liars Club, 19A Back Bridge St, Manchester, M3 2PB - Visit now

There’s definitely something in the air at Liars Club; the staff seem to enjoy the night as much as the punters and although it’s not huge, it feels big once you’re inside. The Liars Club is at the bottom of an iconic pile on Manchester’s booming Bridge Street, propping up the popular Crazy Pedro’s, with Mojo’s completing an eclectic threesome, which offers enough variety to satisfy anyone looking to carve out a tasty little night out on the west side of Deansgate.

Crazy Pedro’s NQ, Short St, Manchester, M1 1JG - Visit now

This underground venue is about being here for a good time, not a long time. The lights are low, but the place isn’t gloomy. Peer over to the back-end of the bar and you’ll find pinball machines and, of course, a beer pong table

Cane & Grain, 49-51 Thomas Street, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M4 1NA - Visit now

Cane & Grain comes courtesy of the same crew as Liars Club and Blackroom Ballroom. You’re in safe hands when it comes to late-night drinks in a vibrant venue. You’ll find no less than three bars, each with their own unique drinks menus. The ground floor bar has a youthful skater feel, but the first-floor speakeasy is our top tip.

Mojo, 59 Bridge St, Manchester, M3 3BQ - Visit now

Catch Mojo’s on the right night, and you could be in for the most raucous, tabletop-dancing night of your year. Based on Manchester’s Bridge Street, this rock ‘n’ roll-themed cocktail bar is wildly popular with the city’s post-work bar crew and if that’s not the ultimate stamp of approval then what on earth is?
