After Work Drinks to Book in Manchester

FAQs about Top After Work Drinks in Manchester

In Manchester, many after-work drink venues offer a minimum spend. This type of venue hire means you aren't actually paying a fee for hiring the venue but rather committing to spend a certain amount on food and drinks during your event. The minimum spend can start as low as £250 per session, with the average range being between £500 and £3,000 per session. For more exclusive venues, this could go as high as £50,000.

Alternatively, some venues might charge hire fees, which typically start around £50 per hour or £350 per session. There are also per-person packages, usually priced between £18 and £40. All of these costs depend on the size of the venue and the duration of your booking. (All data from Tagvenue.)

Manchester boasts a diverse range of venues ideal for after-work drinks. Traditional pubs and bars offer a cosy atmosphere, while private rooms at restaurants provide a more intimate setting. You’ll find a lot of high quality drink and dine places in the Northern Quarter.

For those who prefer a more energetic vibe head on to the Central Retail District, where you’ll find a lot of extravagant places like nightclubs, breweries or comedy clubs, which are also a great choice for a little get together with your workmates.

Other unique options to consider are outdoor venues such as rooftops or beer gardens. Explore them in the streets between Liverpool Road and Quay Street in the Deansgate district.

Manchester has an array of stellar venues for evening celebrations. Here are two options of versatile event spaces, perfect for enjoying after-work drinks with your mates.

The Town Hall Tavern team made this easy - small deposit, clear guidelines for room use, and easy management on the day. Alex was very helpful when I was deciding what venue to choose, and Lindsay was an excellent bartender all evening for our group.

Had a leaving party in the upstairs room that holds up to 50. It worked perfectly as a space for an small gathering with friendly bar staff throughout. A central location, just a short walk from the nearest tram stop, meant people found it easily. Many thanks to the Town Hall Tavern for hosting us!

Really great venue. We had a family party there with a mixed age group, 18-55. The club downstairs was an eye opener for some but we all had fun. Thanks to the servers who were on great form!
