FAC251

Sarah Lane

Boasting premises that once housed Manchester’s legendary Factory Records, FAC251 @The Factory is now home to a nightclub bursting with freshers across all three floors of hits across the spectrum.

If you can face the queue and feel keen to blend with a fresh-faced crowd that are just psyched to have flown the nest then you won’t be disappointed by the bonafide party atmosphere and 99p drinks. With three levels, you can indulge your fickle tastes and avoid any real cringers by floor-hopping and enjoy getting properly lost. Just like the good old days. The sound is pumped through the iconic Funktion-One sound system so skip along on a Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Monday to shake it up on the dancefloor. The live acts are mainly tributes and after-parties although Clint Boon has graced their decks so you never know.
