What
the hell is happening to Manchester nightlife?
First,
Deansgate members bar The Milton Club closes down. It'll be missed,
but a small club with a capacity of a couple of hundred can't get by
if it's only busy on Saturday nights for 4 hours. Their one-off
events were superb (singers and DJs who dropped out of the limelight
making guest appearances are fond memories of mine), but their
regular weekend nights were bland, with a lot of violence. Their
drinks were stupidly overpriced, hence the poor turnout. It'll be
missed.
Next
up, Spinningfields bar
Neighbourhood loses its licence
after a scuffle on the door-
the M.E.N write-up suggests the customer was at fault here. (It
wouldn't surprise me.)
I
guess Artisan
will be a little busier over the next couple of weeks. It'll be a
while before I get a chance to check, though, as my weekend's full
and Spinningfields isn't on the cards. Easter weekend starts with a
bang- or a beat drop, perhaps. Manchester Cool Bars
is dropping into Impossible for Mic
Check Karaoke- a hip hop open mic evening.
Do
you fancy busting a rhyme or spitting some bars? Now's your chance,
in one of Peter St's coolest venues. I know I'll be getting on stage,
so if anything come watch me make a dick out of myself.
I
have nothing for the Friday, but Saturday night will be one of the
most explosive nights of the year when Britain's Anthony Joshua puts his IBF, WBA and IBO
titles on the line. Also offering up a belt is New Zealand's WBO
champ Joseph Parker. Prediction:
Joshua by TKO, round 10. Both fighters are currently unbeaten. Both
have their belts on the line.
Manchester Cool Bars
are meeting in Genting Casino to watch
this go down. Photo ID required.
Despite
the closures, Manchester is still a great place to go and incidents
like the aforementioned are still rare. Come out to the Meetups this
weekend and you'll see what I mean.
