We recommend starting with Ancoats. This neighbourhood is known for its architecture and industrial past, which means that it's got some great vintage spots for hosting a 30th birthday party venue. If you're looking for something more unique than a typical restaurant or bar setting, these industrial venues might be just what you need. You might want to start with Thomas Street, which is packed with warehouses and industrial buildings converted into studios and cafes. From there, you can move on to the even more eclectic Church Street—a mix of restaurants and bars with industrial charm and a touch of quirky, urban chic. If you're looking for something a little more modern for your birthday, then you should head over to Piccadilly. This is a great place to find a venue that's more upscale if you are looking for an elegant venue. Stevenson Square isn’t far from there and is home to a number of vibrant bars and restaurants. The square itself has plenty of character and can be a great place to hold your birthday party in an outdoor setting. It's also close to the Northern Quarter, which is home to some of Manchester's best nightclubs and cocktail bars.
