Orchid Karaoke Bar

You'll either love or hate this unapologetically chaotic slice of Manchester nightlife, but you definitely won't forget it. Orchid sits on Portland Street like that friend who's always up for one more drink – reliable, slightly rough around the edges, and open until the small hours when everywhere else has given up. The karaoke rooms range from intimate booths perfect for birthday disasters to larger spaces where hen parties come to butcher Whitney Houston. It's not winning any interior design awards, but that's entirely the point. The drinks are reasonably priced, the song selection is vast enough to satisfy both your mate who only knows Oasis and your colleague with suspiciously deep knowledge of K-pop. Come midnight, when the city centre starts winding down, Orchid hits its stride.
