Manchester nights out according to their online reviews

Every uni will think that their town or city has the best night out, this is inevitable. Well they’re wrong because Manchester is obviously the best. Manchester has a variety of nights on offer so there is something to suit every taste from ket dens to classy bars, everything is covered.

But if you’re not Mancunians or students here then what do you really think of the nightlife in Manchester? What do people actually think of a Manchester night out? Turns out a few people have and they decided to take to Facebook and Trip Adviser to voice their opinion on a few of our beloved nights out, and not all of them share our views.

Fifth

Fifth is a beacon to all freshers, it’s probably one of the first nights out you’ll have in Manchester. Once you get over the huge line and the general crush of people inside you’ll have the time of your life on 90s night. There is a wide range of review on the Facebook page, people either love it or hate it. A lot of the pros that are mentioned relate around cheap drinks and a lot of the cons are to do with gropey bouncers and shit staff. Lets face it anyone who works in a bar will vouch that it’s shit and they hate everyone who comes in so I don’t blame them. And they charge for smoking, what is that about?

I don’t think he will be returning

Obvs had a ball

Antwerp Mansion

The home of edgy. With over 500 reviews and an average of 4.3 stars, everyone is under the impression that Antwerp is the best. There are even a lot of five star reviews, top marks for the Mansion. Get your vintage sportswear on and head down on a Thursday for a night that can only be summed up by a Tina Turner quote.

The main negatives were about capacity. People just can’t hack the crush. Just not hardcore enough to rave through it. I mean with the new addition of air conditioning you might be able to feel less suffocated or wear a puffa coat to create a buffer of space around you. What do you expect when you go to a rave.

Nothing sums up Antwerp quite like Tina Turner

Is the sesh really worth pending death?

The Deaf Institute

The Deaf Institute smashed the five star reviews on their Facebook page. Full of people who enjoyed the gigs and DJs. The venue itself is really impressive and with different music on each floor, it’s easy to find a floor that will suit you. There were very few negative reviews but the majority of these seemed to come from vegans slating the food (are vegans ever happy?) and the toilets being in the basement. So if you’re not a vegan and you don’t have a weak bladder Deaf Institute is the place for you.

Still gave it 5*?

Sankeys

Sankeys is one of the clubs that all freshers know and will probably flock too. You will of probably heard about in in Manchester and also in Ibiza, Sankeys is now global. They did’t have any reviews on their Facebook page but they had a handful on trip adviser. There was an even amount of excellent and terrible, which I think sums up Sankeys perfectly: you either love it or hate it, and I think drug use effects this decision. A lot of the older reviewers said it was a lot shitter than when it originally opened and the younger reviewers loved it. Apart from these two below. Maybe they are flatmates, well at least then they can bond over their love of leaving bad reviews.

Flatmate bonding over bad reviews

Even with all of these reviews we still don’t care, I mean who even checks out reviews of a club before they go? I’m sure that a few bad reviews aren’t going to stop us. No matter what anyone says about our clubs we still love them anyway and we will still get crushed in Antwerp and queue for hours outside of Fifth. The night just wouldn’t be the same without it.
