Interior of a dimly lit bar with a long wooden counter, barstools, shelves stocked with bottles, five shiny spherical pendant lights hanging above, black and white checkered floor, a red vase on a table, and a plant.

After work sips,

weekend takeovers

& live DJs 'til 3am.

Side Bar is Manchester’s low-lit sanctuary for cocktails, happy hour sips, and late-night DJ sessions. Set against mid-century interiors and a warm, intimate glow, our DJs spin funk, soul, disco and house while Tartuffe Bistro’s plates circulate and the sofas you wish you owned keep you settled long past midnight. Whether it’s date night in Manchester, after-work drinks, or a weekend takeover, this is where great cocktails meet the city’s best atmosphere.

Come for a cocktail, stay for the mood.
