One of the Village’s longest-serving LGBTQ+ venues, the New Union is woven into Manchester nightlife. The ground-floor show bar swings from karaoke to drag cabaret to DJ takeovers, with a loyal crowd who love a classic tune and a bit of craic with the bar team. It’s unpretentious and proudly old-school in the best way – big smiles, quick service and a proper sense of community, especially on Sunday afternoons when locals mingle with hotel guests. Speaking of, the upstairs rooms are no-frills and handy for late finishes or Pride weekenders. Expect themed nights across the calendar, charity fundraisers, and the kind of inclusive welcome that makes solo visitors feel at home fast. If you’re after a taste of the Village as it’s been loved for decades – friendly, affordable and full of singalong spirit – the New Union delivers.
