Birthday Party · 35 guests · September 2026 · The Green Room

I was very happy with this venue and the full booking process! Felt very looked after the entire time and it was exactly what we needed. We threw a joint 30th & 50th party and pre-ordered some drinks packages. We were also allowed to bring snacks and come into the venue early to set up, test the sound etc. The venue was extremely accommodating. We were able to put up our own decorations, but didn't do any more than some number balloons and a birthday banner, as the room already looked great! And the live music in the main bar was a fab bonus. The room was the perfect size for 30-40 guests to make it feel full enough while also leaving a lot space to freely dance (which was important for us) and not be crammed in, Could have fit in more people if needed too, but this was our ideal. Overall extremely pleased!

Party · 40 guests · September 2026 · The Green Room

Had an amazing time in the green room at definitely maybe bar, had my 21st there and it was so good. Everyone had an amazing time and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Amazing drinks and service would book again.

Only thing the toilets were a bit annoying as it wouldn’t flush sometimes but that was okay!

Bar · 30 guests · September 2026 · The Green Room

The venue was perfect for my party, a great size with a great atmosphere. Really good music and Julian was absolutely brilliant - he looked after us from start to finish and nothing was too much trouble. He made sure everything ran smoothly, meeting me there early on to help with set up and staying involved throughout the night if I needed anything. We had such a good night - the set up and running of the party was brilliant and I'd reccommend to anyone. I think I had about 40 guests and the room felt full without being cramped. We didn't pay to hire the room but did have to reach a £600 minimum spend which was very reasonable.

The only negative I have is that I had arranged for the venue to provide catering for the party but was only told at 9.30pm the night before that they could no longer do it, which meant a lot of last minute stress and faffing around - but I just got an uber eats delivery to the bar. The venue staff were really apologetic for the issue and did do their best to provide alternatives.

About Definitely Maybe Bar

Definitely Maybe Bar is a Trusted Tagvenue Partner, validated by the Tagvenue team with a record of successful bookings on the platform.

Right in the heart of the Northern Quarter inside Afflecks, the Definitely Maybe Bar is built around the spirit of Oasis. It’s part bar, part live music venue, with regular bands, DJ nights, and a drinks menu that keeps things simple and fun.

The space holds up to 350 people and also works as an exhibition area, with displays that nod to the band’s history and impact. You can come for a gig, stay for a drink, and take in a bit of Manchester music culture all in one place.

With its central location and steady buzz, it’s quickly become a go-to stop for fans and visitors exploring the city’s music scene — and it’s even featured on the official interactive map for the Oasis Heaton Park shows.

Expect: premium memorabilia, extensive Oasis exhibition, official Oasis merchandise, and a memorable night out.

Usually booked for
Stag Party

Typically for about 20 guests and costs about £500.
