Runway Nightclub

You know that feeling when other clubs are winding down and you're nowhere near ready to call it a night? That's exactly when you want to be heading to this Deansgate spot. Open only Friday and Saturday nights, it's built for those who understand that the real party doesn't start until after 2am. The focus here is firmly on the music and the dancefloor – no gimmicks, no overpriced bottle service drama, just solid beats pumping through a sound system that actually does the job. The crowd tends to be a mix of night owls who've migrated from other venues and dedicated clubbers who know exactly what they're after. By 3am, when the weekend warriors have stumbled home, you're left with the serious dancers and the atmosphere gets properly electric.
