It’s a terribly kept secret that Mancunians have perfected the art of a night out - the city is one of the best in the UK when it comes to nightlife. So don your party pants, and join one of our Manchester hosts to explore the city after dark.

But here’s where it gets interesting. Would you like to keep things classy and visit a sky-high cocktail bar or a subterranean drinking den where expert mixologists create concoctions that smoke? Or would a pint of craft beer in a real ale pub be more your style?

You could bar hop around the trendy Northern Quarter, stopping by hip(ster) bars (the place is packed with them), or play it really local and settle into a pub along the canals.

For a quieter evening, you could head to HOME, an arts center where you can enjoy a drink and art exhibition, or would you like to discover Manchester’s unrivaled live music scene in a small, independent venue where you can listen to a local band?

Not forgetting that Manchester’s rave and club scene is legendary, so if you're not quite ready for bed, there are plenty of warehouse clubs and indie music venues where you can keep the night going!
