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.
I hosted a birthday party here for ~40 people and it was so great!! the staff were so friendly and accommodating, helping the evening to run smoothly. They had great communication, let us play our own music and were quick to reply. We all had a lovely evening, there’s a great atmosphere in there and drink options are great prices are reasonable :) would definitely recommend!
The venue was perfect! It’s such a beautiful room and the rooftop area outside was stunning! My guests were so impressed. The bar staff were brilliant and so helpful! Thanks all so much :)
Great venue in the heart of Manchester! The bar looks great and is perfect for social events. Kelly was friendly and made it easy to organise our event. Food was fantastic & loads of it! Highly recommend.
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.
We booked this room for our engagement party and the room is very lovely, it looks very fancy and it was nice to have access to a private bar. Also was perfect for the amount of guests we had. I would 100% recommend this to hire.
Great venue. Hired the basement bar for an event and staff were really communicative throughout. On the night the bar staff were really on the ball, friendly and professional. Venue was very clean and well looked after. Great experience.
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!
Hosted my 30th birthday party here and it was a blast. Really good space, with plenty of room to sit, dance and play beer pong! Sarah was great throughout and answered all my questions quickly. Staff on the day were helpful and let us set up/decorate early and helped us figure out the sound system so we could play our own music and even have karaoke! Would highly recommend. Excellent value for a very central location in Manchester on a Friday night!
