review

Sheer chaos... Tis evidently the season for getting jolly, as Outdoorlads celebrated with their Christmas meal at Taurus. REALManchester, of course, was invited with our cameras to record the occasion.

It all started so civilised with a gorgeous three course meal at Taurus... and then it rapidly went down hill - with plenty of free shots along the way thanks to Bar Below, Manto, Spirit and Hollywood for those! By the time we got to Hollywood we might have lost a few already... 5 down 36 to go...

Then on to Cruz... then on to severe memory loss and a Friday that was definantly a going to be a duvet day!

loved it?

about Cruz 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.

about Bar Below

For the connoisseur of sophisticated socialising, Bar Below is spot on. A cocktail bar on Canal Street but set down a flight of steps and, therefore, a civilised step away from the hurly-burly, this is an intimate venue with more than a touch of class.

about Manto

Manto on Canal Street is legendary - one of the original features of the gay village and has been through a number of changes over the years. Set on three floors with a covered and heated external balcony on the second level which also serves as a sheltered smoking area, this is very much a place to see and be seen.n.

Today for Manto:

Games Night
Relax with chilled low music, low lights and drinks offers plus loads of games to keep you amused.

about Spirit

Purpose-built for your socialising pleasure on Canal Street, Spirit Bar is a deceptively large venue. Arranged on several floors, there are plenty of squashy sofas in which to kick back and relax, not to mention those cheeky beds on the mezzanine floor upon which to make the first move with that first date! In fact, whether it's a romantic date, a quick one after work or a night out with your mates, the relaxed and friendly atmosphere is perfect for drinking and chatting.
