Sankeys
Long queues and derelict surrounds make Sankeys a destination for the dedicated clubber; the venue stands in the middle of the industrial wasteland that is Ancoats. Tribal Sessions on Friday nights is regarded as a classic club night and Saturday night also sees a superb selection of techno, uplifting house and other quality electronica.

Socio Rehab
Tiny, supercool and boasting one of the best cocktail menus in town, this terrific bar is the kind that will make you think you're onto a really good secret. You kind of are.

South
An excellent basement club to kick off the weekend: Friday night is Rock'n'Roll Bar, featuring everything from Ibrahim Ferrer to Northern Soul; and Saturday is Disco Rescue, which is more of the same eclectic mix of alternative and dance.

Temple of Convenience
This tiny basement bar with a capacity of about 30 has a great jukebox and a fine selection of spirits, all crammed into a converted public toilet. Hardly your bog-standard pub.
