Step into a Wild West-inspired escape at Wild Wild Steps, where every detail is designed to transport you to a lively country party. From themed décor and interactive line dancing to a soundtrack of beloved country hits, there's a playful energy that fills the room.
Whether you're enjoying cocktails, trying your hand at dance moves, or just soaking in the atmosphere, the experience combines food, drink, music, and activity into a fully immersive evening.
Revolucion De Cuba is a cool and buzzing Latin-themed bar in Deansgate which offers some spice and flavour to the drinkers and diners of Manchester. Large Havana-esque ceiling fans remind visitors of sunnier climates and a large number of high tables provide the perfect setting for drinks and food with friends.
When it comes to larking back to the good old days, there aren't many themed bars in Manchester that do speakeasy quite like The Fitzgerald. Head on down for prohibition inspired shenanigans in that all important, vintage inspired enviroment.
One of the best Asian themed bars and restaurants in Manchester, Thaikhun is more than coming up trumps in the dinner and drinks department. Immerse yourself in a world of authentic interiors and Thai street food style in this eclectic adventure East.
If you have to ask what the theme is here then you obviously haven't ever experienced The Liars Club - shame on you! With more rum and fire than you can imagine; this tiki bar is one of the key ingredients for a great themed night out in Manchester.
