Hipster Bars in Manchester

With such a menagerie of spaces and options, it's no wonder that Cane and Grain is such a top pick for Manchester's hipsters. Promising not only the ultimate in craft beer and Americana bites, this New York styled haven boasts a tiki bar and cocktail lounge for those looking to head to warmer climates.

Hipsters need to eat too y'know, though they're bound to eat far better, and far more organically than you. But heck, that's the categorisation we were trying to stay away from. Known for munching on massive burgers too, hipsters can be found indulging in some serious patty fare at Almost Famous, and nearly every night.

Not your average NQ haunt. NoHo is one magnetic Manchester venue that seduces passers by with it's deep brooding interiors, lowly lit bar and graffiti art walls. Adorned with luxe red leather Chesterfield's this is a guaranteed hipster haven. Noho knows how to smash a great crafty cocktail and DJ together for a weekend mash-up of good time groovin' beats and a packed dancefloor of faithful boppers. 

You might not think ping pong is cool any more, but think about it, drink in hand and paddle in the other? That's cool, so cool that Manchester's hipsters can't get enough of it at the raw and industrial Twenty Twenty Two as they paddle hard and drink harder.

Simmer down now. No, literally. A more laid-back alternative to hipster antics, Electrik is the destination for a cool coffee and cake, all before embarking on a cheeky beer in to the early evening. With a regular turn-over of local art sprawled across the walls, and their minimalistic furniture echoing scandi chic, it's a laidback alternative to a bustling cocktail bar. 

Bare brick and woodwork, never were there better a building material for hipsters in Manchester. Toting a destination in the Northern Quarter, Manchester's most prominent destination, and a cool collection of craft beers and spirits to boot, this is a bar in the city that does the NQ's inclination for industrial innards proud. 

They may be one of the newest venues on the city scene, but El Capo is certainly coming up in the hipster ranks. Boasting bespoke bottles of tequila and the Northern Quarters infamous industrial innards, El Capo has everything that an inspiring hipster could possibly want. Un-nameable bottles of booze and broody corners.

A haunt where regular freelancer simmer down for an afternoon, North Tea Power totes simplistic interiors with a dash of rustic charm, just what we hear you hipster kids are in to these days.
