Clubs In The Northern Quarter

While not primarily a club by nature, you should see how Black Dog Ballroom behave come the weekend. A great place to drink and groove the night away, this is the spot for grabbing a cocktail and making your way to the dance floor, where a hardy selection of hits await all partygoers.

From American big eats during the day to wild party bar come night time, Dive NQ is open until 5am on weekends. Situated in the buzzy Northern Quarter, this fun haunt has DJs spinning the decks, amazing cocktails and a great atmosphere to keep you going 'til the sun comes up.

This might not be your traditional Northern Quarter Manchester club, but Matt and Phreds is definitely a gem. A haven of all things jazz, this venue offers the chance to stumble on live music, from folk and gypsy to salsa, swing, ska and more, all in a party atmosphere.

If it's Northern Quarter bars and clubs that you're after, Twenty Twenty Two is home to a hot underground scene. Past DJs to grace the decks include Norman Jay, Horse Meat Disco, Justin Robertson and Psychemajik - perfect for an unpretentious night out with great music. 

Hidden away in the Northern Quarter is Behind Closed Doors, a basement cocktail bar with old telephones in all the seating areas and a DJ booth constructed from shopping trolleys. Aside from the eclectic decor, this is a venue to hit the dancefloor with a funk-loving crowd.

Tucked in the basement of this popular Northern Quarter watering hole is an intimate gig venue and nightclub. With raw, stripped back decor, neon lighting and some of the best underground DJs or club nights around, Soup Kitchen is easily one of the coolest alternative spots.

Out of all the best bars in the Northern Quarter, Hula is the one for DJ and club nights. This den of flaming cocktails and other tiki vibes is renowned for its party atmosphere, or the opportunity to dance the evening away with a drink in hand.

Located at the top of Oldham Street, Mint Lounge is one of the most popular clubs in Manchester because it's home the city's longest running night out. Funkademia attracts a fun-seeking crowd to fill the dance floor every Saturday.
