heartsfc_fan Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Anyone on here been before? Taking the lady friend down 4 days before Xmas. Staying pretty central, in a 3* hotel, so we should be within walking distance to (most) attractions. Any good bars/restaurants we should keep a look out for? What's the nightlife like down there? Cheers in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vulture Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 You'll have a great time, loads of cool funky places by Tibb Street in the Northern Quarter and for food go to Rusholme and the curry mile. Castlefield also has nice pubs too. Places to visit, well there is the Imperial War Museum North, Manchester City Art Gallery and the museums in Castlefield. If you fancy leaving the city for a day trip, Liverpool is only 40 minutes by train too. Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portobellojambo1 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Watch out for aliens. Going by the Shed this morning they appear to be everywhere except Craigmillar and Wester Hailes (the people there just look like aliens). Been a couple of times, decent place.

Darren Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I really like Manchester, although I'm not much use in giving directions or tips because I'm usually there with someone who knows the place well. Curry Mile is well worth doing - I don't even like curry but had a superb one out of the place (name escapes me) we went to. The pubs around Manchester University are decent - particularly if you are a student - and Fifth Avenue on the way into town from that direction had a good student night a few years back on a Friday. Seems to generally be a pretty good vibe on nights out. During the day I suppose there's the usual stuff like museums, loads of shops, Leeds and Liverpool within 45 minutes either way. Can always take a trip down to the Hacienda too, although it's a bit gutting looking at what it has turned into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
