Deansgate Locks Bars

One of Manchester's most party-forward tiki haunts, Lola Lo is a brand renowned the UK over for their South Pacific vibes. From treasure chest cocktail sharers and sparkling Champagne to bamboo interiors and Hawaiian shirts, this Deansgate favourite promises a rowdy time on the dancefloor.

Date night? Elevated after-work drinks? Cloud 23 sits atop the Hilton Hotel in Manchester and is a stone's throw from the iconic Deansgate Locks. Stylish, swanky and sophisticated, the sky-high bar is one of the city's most luxurious picks.

Tucked away on Watson Street, Three Little Words is the distillery, bar and restaurant helmed by Manchester Gin. When you're not sipping on G&Ts and cocktails, tuck into a menu of seared beef rice noodles, crispy duck leg and braised oxtail with polenta.

Up for a party every night of the week, Revolution is a popular Deansgate Locks haunt. When you're not dancing til the wee hours with their banging DJ sets, head along during the day for an easy menu of burgers and pizzas.

Lock 91 is located in an old 19th-century lock keeper's cottage. Come summer, the outdoor terrace is always packed with the after-work crowd sipping through pints, while in winter the eclectic interior and teapot cocktails make the perfect pairing.

Perched right on the canal, Dukes 92 is a restaurant bar with areas for private hire, making it perfect for that party you've been planning. Chilled by day and buzzing by night, the bar is the perfect for a quick lunch or an evening of cocktails.

Dedicated to all things juniper, Atlas Bar is your one-stop-shop for a cracking G&T on Deansgate Locks. Have a browse through their gin bible and settle on the outdoor terrace for a chilled date night option.

With a sun-soaked roof terrace, private function rooms and the charming bar at your disposal, The Deansgate is a great place for all occasions. Soak up a great selection of beers and ciders as you soak up pub grub at this Trafford Street pick.

A short stroll from the main street, Bunny Jackson's Juke Joint is a quirky den with American leanings. Head over for one of the live music nights, or mix up date night with their boozy boilers or slushies - great with a side of the famous wings.

One of the Locks most iconic drinking spaces is Rain Bar. With a huge outdoor terrace and classic choice of beers, the waterside spot is jampacked come summer. Take in the view when you're munching through their pizza selection.
