Kitsch Overload at the Simmons Bar Meetup

Manchester Nightlife Meetup group headed to new 80s bar Simmons on Deansgate last night. 

 

 

Gaudy, live music, brash. It’s new, so I wanted to run a meetup there. I doubt I’d be back. We then headed into Spinningfields, to Oast House and to the new – and presumably temporary – Miracle on the Avenue, a Christmas-themed bar with cheesy pop and a huge toilet queue. Spinningfields needs something a little more low-key just to balance it all out; sadly Miracle’s drinks prices are competitive, as are, I expect, their overheads. 

So yeah. My Meetup groups are growing. Another similar Manchester Meetup group closed today as the owner stepped down and no one took it over. I didn’t because it was too similar to Manc Mates, a group I took over a few months ago (and have kinda neglected). 

More Meetup ideas in the pipeline.
