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.

As the name suggests, Cruz is a perfect place for a bit of people watching, although once that dancefloor gets going you could quite easily find yourself dancing until the lights come up - and who could blame you! The place attracts a good mix of characters and the atmosphere is always friendly and up-beat. Although quite obviously a gay venue, this club is pretty welcoming to everyone... Having said that, hen-parties are sent on their way!

Downstairs is the altogether darker club, Sub, which regularly hosts parties of the more intense variety, or on some occasions just offers a different perspective on your Cruz experience.
