As it's located a mile out of town, on the corner of Stockport Road in Ardwick, there's only a handful of pubs and bars near the Apollo Theatre, Manchester.
Piccadilly Station in the city centre is a direct 13 minute walk to the Apollo, offering many cocktail bars and restaurants in addition to the traditional pubs closer to the venue.
Because of the location of Manchester Apollo, it's recommended to get a taxi or bus from the city centre to the theatre.
After the show however, the walk into the city centre is popular with the crowds.
