Who's got the best moves?
G-A-Y is a huge dance club with a party inside to match its impressive exterior. Everyone from 18 year old students to 40-something business types can be seen in one the various unique sections of this club. The food is excellent and the rooftop terrace is incredibly popular during the summer.

      Stayed away, bad karma
      We were told this place wasn't very friendly toward tourists, they have a sign on the door saying that it is a "selective" entrance and if the staff doesn't recognize most of the people in your party they won't admit you. Sounds like a discriminating way to run a business.

      Terrible
      I am truly horrified and I don't say this lightly. Arrived in Manchester for work from New York City and am staying down the street. About 45 mins in, I got the following, while being completely sober: "The manager has been watching you on CC TV. You appear to be alone and this isn't a cruise bar. We need you to leave." I can't say how embarrassing this was. Not looking for sex, I was trying to meet new people in a new city. I've been going to bars for years and this has never happened to me. I'm really flabbergasted that this can happen in 2014.

      Absolute Disgrace
      I signed up to this website just to write this review. I have drank in here for the best part of 2 years. Recently, I haven't had the time for 'Nights Out', in usually down during the day when I get a spare couple of hours. A few nights ago on my birthday night out, myself and my partner were refused entry because we were not regulars. This was after being interrogated by the young arrogant doorman about where I drink usually! Absolutely terrible.

      G.A.Y Bar down Canal Street.. is SHOCKING BAD!
      I feel like i need to post this Review and it not only me but as i been talking to people many other people are not happy with this G.A.Y bar.. as i was about to go in there without no warning i was push out by bar staff before i even got up the stairs.. when ask why what the reason the bar staff said we only want men in here not Dykes .. i was upset about the whole thing.. So i wouldn't go in there again.. My girl friend went to complain and he also got push out..
