Long-standing Manchester venue appealing to a younger crowd, Fifth holds regular club nights.

F.K.A. Fifth Ave, this one-time grungy indie venue now caters to a somewhat generic student crowd bopping along to indie, dance, house, hip hop and R&B. With three rooms and five bars, there’s plenty of choice if you fancy flailing around among drunken freshers. Don’t wear your Sunday best either, if you do decide to grace the place with your presence, you may fall into one of their foam parties or paint parties. You may be safer to head to the modern-classic, the ‘Made-in-the-90s’ night. If you were, that is.
