About this space

The Whiskey Jar has undoubtedly become one of the Northern Quarter's favourite spots. This old textile mill has been beautifully restored with its upstairs bar playing host to a range of popular nights.

We now have a fully functioning, basement event space complete with bar, seating and sound system.

The space is ideal for private parties, corporate events, photoshoots, conferences, yoga classes, birthday parties, exhibitions etc. licensed up until 12am on a Thursday and 2 am on Friday and Saturday (terms and conditions apply).
