Manchester’s first art-house cinema, the Cornerhouse is as good as it gets. Innovative programming and fresh popcorn make it the perfect place to while away a rainy Manchester evening.

 

Manchester’s leading Latino bar plays host to the country’s fi nest Latin bands, singers and performers and, for those who fancy a little Latin passion, there are regular dance classes where everyone is encouraged to join in. Exciting, exuberant and colourful, Havana Bar won’t disappoint.

 

Although the [name] may suggest a redneck hellhole, The Roadhouse is actually one of Manchester’s fi nest live music venues, with regular varied gigs and a selection of great club nights. It attracts a mixed older crowd and can get quite rowdy in the small hours.

 

Quite simply a legend within Manchester clubbing circles, Matt and Phred’s has established itself as the place to be seen for Manchester’s bohemians, beatniks and sophisticates who venture into the Northern Quarter in search of some of the best jazz this side of the Atlantic. Regularly visited by both godfathers and young pretenders in the jazz world, there is a varied schedule of gigs. It claims to be the only club in the north of England dedicated to jazz.

 

A showcase for local comedians, The Comedy Store is full every Wednesday to Saturday and boasts the best atmosphere in town. As well as a fi ne selection of ales it has a great menu of simple dishes like pie and mash, and great fi sh and chips.
