LA Lounge

You'll find this compact club tucked away on Grosvenor Street, pulling in a mixed crowd of locals who prefer their nights out without the pretension. The space itself won't win any design awards, but that's not really the point – people come here to actually dance rather than spend the evening taking photos. The drinks are reasonably priced for Manchester city centre, and the bar staff know their way around the basics without any unnecessary flair. It's the kind of place where you can have a proper laugh with your mates without feeling like you need to dress to impress. The Sunday session finishing at half past two is particularly popular with those looking to extend their weekend just a bit longer.
