The
Northern Quarter has quickly become the most popular place to go for
a night out with some of Manchester's best independent bars and traditional
pubs to be found here. Located around the recently revamped High Street
and the 'original Northern Quarter' on Oldham Street, it's just north
of both the Arndale Centre and Piccadilly Gardens.
Whilst
it has always been famed for it's independent shops selling all
sorts of weird and wonderful products from retro clothing, rare
vinyl, collectable comics, smoking paraphernalia, unusual furniture
and superb art, it is now also famed for its nightlife. There's
a whole host of privately owned bars and pubs opening up offering
a fine array of foreign beers, local brewed casks, spirts and food.
The
Northern Quarter also has a high proportion of live music venues with
the long standing Night & Day Cafe, Dry Bar, Matt & Phreds
and The Roadhouse enjoying a great resurgence.
Odd Bar represents Manchester’s Northern Quarter better
than any other bar - a bohemian decor, unpretentious and a great
place to relax with beers from around the world
Walrus
became the latest addition to the Northern Quarter’s vibrant
bar and food scene when it opened its doors in December 2007.
The venue spreads across two floors and the feel is colourful,
eclectic and stimulating. Serves great cocktails, unusual bottled
beers & tasty food.
Tucked
around the back of Piccadilly, away from the hustle and bustle
of the city, Lammars is well worth taking the time to find so
you can sit back, relax and enjoy a great drink. Lammars has
a jam session every Thursday and a DJ till late on Friday and
Saturdays
Previously one of the roughest pubs in the city 'The King',
now one of the friendliest and trendiest pubs. The Northern
is a celebration of all things Mancunian. It has excellent music,
relaxing atmosphere, and 'The Pit' for smokers'. Open as late
as 5am some nights.
Wonderful traditional pub serving local robinson's bitter. boasting
a beautiful 1830's mosiac frontage and a tiled bar which possibly
dates back to 1887, this is a friendly historic boozer that
has successfully avoided fashion trends and the property developer's
demoltion ball
Great Brazilian Churrascaria bar and restaurant in the Northern
Quarter, offering arguably the best Caipirinhas in Manchester,
amongst other fantastic cocktails. DJ's and live music add to
the samba party feel at weekends. Fantastic food too!
