Lock 91 is a lounge and late-night bar located in a 19th century lock keepers cottage and beautifully located on the Deansgate locks. Take a cosy armchair seat in the Reception Room or for those who like to play, head to Jack's Room, for pool, darts and a smoking terrace. It's one of the best bars in Manchester for some relaxation and isn't to be missed!
Often frequented by suited co-workers straight out of the office, this lounge bar in the middle of Albert Square is the perfect place to unwind after a long day at your desk. With cheap deals all through the week, don't worry about your pennies. Put your feet up and chill with a drink in hand and an extensive drinks menu to choose from.
What better way to relax than to sit back and put your feet up by the musical tinkle of Spinningfield's most peaceful natural feature, the River Irwell. Let the water wash away your woes as you sip at 2-4-1 cocktails (another reason to realx, your pennies are safe!) and let this venue put the lounge in lounge bar.
Whether you're looking for a space to work during the day or to relax after work for drinks, Northern Quarter's The Pen & Pencil is great for all occasions. The bare-brick walls and New York-style bar give the restaurant bar a chilled out atmosphere, and with day and evening menus, there's always something to nibble on.
