A list of Manchester Gay Village clubs wouldn't be complete without giving On Bar a note. Not only is it the home of killer performances across bottomless brunches and other boozy happenings from Bougie Drag & Boy Toy Events, but this place sure knows how to throw a party too.

Another venue that may not have club status, but has has heck of
The Gay Village in Manchester is without doubt one of the liveliest areas of the city and this is reflected by the number of pubs, bars and clubs dotted around Canal Street, or 'anal treet' as it's also affectionately known locally.
Whilst Canal Street is the name most widely associated with Manchester's Same-sex attracted Village, the area is actually spread out on all the streets that fall between Princess Road and Minshull Street, fasten to Piccadilly Station and China Town.
Lined with queer bars, clubs, cafes, hotels and shops, it's packed at night time with gays, lesbians, transexuals and transvetites who have flocked to the area from all over the planet, many attracted by the Queer As Folk television drama which was based here.
Whilst 'The Village' is full of gay bars, most of them are straight friendly and the popularity of the area with hetrosexuals underlines the welcoming open-minded attitude Mancunians are famed for.
A superb time is guaranteed for anybody on Canal Highway - gay, straight or bisexual.
