Less a quirky club in Manchester than a late night pool bar, it secures a place in our list for its party attitude as the night goes on. While in one part of the room you can be sipping cocktails and chatting, you can be dancing in another, or playing pool in the other.

Albert's Schloss is what happens when you combine a bier hall, a cabaret parlour and a quirky Manchester nightclub. This den of debauchery is host to entertainment from Oompah bands to burlesque dancers, the bar serves beer and cocktails alike, and once the lights turn low, the music turns up, and you can dance till the early hours.

This is the venue for the punk rockers, metal heads and goths of the city. This unique Manchester club offers cheap drinks, two bars, and even a statue dedicated to Satan – so you pretty much know if this is the crowd for you. Heavy music, a party crowd and a few piercings is the order of the day.

Alternative nightclubs in Manchester don't get more fun than Night People. Not only do they attract an alternative crowd, they host live bands three times a week, as well as a series of (mostly retro) club nights. The drinks are cheap and the atmosphere is strictly “have a good time”.
