About this place Bar Pop

Bar Pop is a gay bar on Manchester’s Canal Street, a place to find cheap drinks and cabaret in the city’s LGBTQ+ neighborhood.

You’ll find Bar Pop right on Canal Street, and it usually pulls a younger crowd. Most drinks are just £2 from Sunday through Thursday, so it’s a good bet if you don’t want to blow your whole budget in one night.

They put on regular cabaret shows. Check their Facebook page for what’s coming up; they post all the event details there.

It’s one of the more popular places on Canal Street, especially with students, so expect a friendly, high-energy scene. You can usually meet locals and other travelers without much effort.

Bar Pop is my favourite bar to visit on Canal Street. Always a great atmosphere, everyone out for a good time, fab music and great entertainment. I usually visit at night but today I went during the day to celebrate my friends birthday and it was karaoke! Fantastic. Such a great atmosphere. Lots of singing and dancing!
