Club entertainment in Manchester

  1. A

    Sankey's

    If you're a fan of techno, electro or any kind of non-mainstream house music, then a pilgrimage to Manchester's best nightclub should on no account be missed. Sankey's has earned itself legendary status for being at the vanguard of dance music (Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk and others got their start here) and its commitment to top-class DJs is unwavering. These days, you'll hear the likes of Timo Maas, Seb Leger and Thomas Schumacher mix it up with the absolutely superb residents. Choon! Sankey's is about a mile east of the Northern Quarter. The best way to get here is to board the free Disco Bus that picks up at locations throughout the city from 10.30pm to 2am Friday…

    Fac251

    It might be a paeon to days of yore, but Fac251, located in Tony Wilson's former Factory Records HQ, stands on its own two feet as one of the best venues in town. Three rooms, all with a broad musical appeal, from Monday's Hit & Run (drum 'n' bass, hip hop and dubstep) to Stoned Love on Saturday, which has Indie rock, Motown and techno across three rooms. Something for everybody.

    South

    An excellent basement club to kick off the weekend: Friday night is CWord with Strangerways, featuring everything from Ibrahim Ferrer to Northern Soul, and Saturday is the always excellent Disco Rescue with Clint Boon (once of the Inspiral Carpets), which is more of the same eclectic mix of alternative and dance.
