Best bar in Manchester - Odd

It's very hard to compile a list of the Top 10 best bars in Manchester that would suit everybody's requirements. Some people love the continental style independent establishments that sell German wheat beer whilst others look for the footballer-filled wine bars or back street boozers with their local ales. The masses flock to the busy Anytown chain pubs whilst others crave the chic cocktail bars with their strict dress codes.

For that reason we've compiled a list of the Top 10 best bars in Manchester, as voted by our readers (vote below), as well as provided a list of the most popular real ale pubs and your favourite cocktail bars. For the beautiful people we've also used our local knowledge (and your spying skills) to provide a list of the top celebrity hang outs.
