Manchester's best...

  straightometerSub

Down in the darker depths of Cruz101 is Sub. The underground club gives Cruz an extra floor and a second DJ on busy nights, but is also very much a club in its own right.

  straightometerCruz 101

A Manchester gay staple for more years than we can remember, Cruz 101 is everything a gay club should be: A touch of camp, a bit of glitz and more than its fair share of gorgeous boys and girls... it’s no surprise that the crowds keep piling back for more! Between its variety of homegrown nights and outside promotions there’s something to tickle everyone’s fancy.
