Friday Nights in Manchester

One for a naughty night out every day of the week, Albert's Schloss really comes alive at the weekend. Make sure your Friday night is a big one and gather your crew for an evening of live performers, German bites and sloshing steins at this Peter Street staple.

With a bar that offers the absolute best cocktails and beers of any bowling alley we've ever been to, Dog Bowl is a real experience. Gone are the days of sticky floors, screaming children and 2p slot machines at the local Hollywood Bowl; this American spot has got the food, drinks and vibes on point.

Celebrating tiki beats every Friday, Lola Lo is the tropical haven in the middle of Deansgate. Get down and dirty on the dance floor until the early hours, with cocktails discounted and cheap drinks on offer. We dare you to keep away from this hot spot.

Taking over the Mint Lounge until the early hours, Top of the Pops is the Friday night bash that's all about cheap drinks and big tunes. A student-friendly club in Manchester, this buzzing night is always one to hit up.

Fancy something a little different this Friday? Shake up your usual after-work drinks with a night at Bring & Mix; the BYOB spot that sees expert bartenders rustle up bespoke cocktails according to your tastes and preferences.
