Licklist Guide to Clubs in Manchester

Manchester has lots of clubs with diverse venues to suit a range of tastes and budgets.  World famous venues such as the Hacienda, Spinning Wheel and New Continental Club are well known clubs in Manchester from back in the day, but the scene today is just as impressive with some outstanding venues where you can go clubbing until the early hours. Tiger Tiger, The Birdcage, Manchester235 and Revolucion De Cuba are just a few of the well known clubs in Manchester but there are plenty of other venues dotted around the city centre and beyond.  There are lots of bars in Manchester that are open late and have dancefloors so the definition of a club versus a bar is getting more and more blurred.  Whether you are looking for a student night, VIP club, a live music venue, DJ or something else, there is sure to be a club for you in Manchester.

Party-goers will be spoilt for choice when it comes to clubs in Manchester. Whether you’re after a big night out or a casual drink with friends, clubs in Manchester come in all shapes and sizes, so there’s something for everyone. Check out what’s on offer with Licklist’s comprehensive guide to clubs in Manchester.
