About this place G-A-Y Manchester

G-A-Y Manchester is the northern outpost of the London G-A-Y brand. It's on Richmond Street, a few steps from Canal Street in the Gay Village. The formula is pop-heavy dance music, cheap drink deals and a young, mixed crowd that comes late. Some nights have live acts and PAs. Hours on file are 17:00 to 04:00 on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, and until 06:00 on Friday and Saturday. It's closed Tuesday and Sunday. It fills up after the pubs on Canal Street empty. The 2.7 Google rating mostly reflects complaints about door staff and queues. Entry and drink offers change, so check g-a-y.co.uk before you head over.

We got to skip the que cause my friend is a friend of a friend of whoever - this was probably 20 years ago, but I remember the night well! I seen some things on that place i had never seen in my life! 🙈 The toilets were something that will haunt me forever! Irrespective, it was a brilliant night out & we all had a cracking time!

On 12/04/2026 at 2:25, I experienced an unacceptable incident with one of the security staff at this place. He allowed the people before and after me in the queue to enter, but when it was my turn, I was told I was not allowed in without any clear reason, despite not having done anything wrong. I was the only person singled out, which raises serious concerns about the basis of this decision. This behavior appears discriminatory and is highly unprofessional, showing a clear lack of respect for customers. I will not be returning to this place, and I do not recommend it to anyone who might be subjected to similar treatment. Management should seriously review their staff’s behavior and ensure proper training on treating all people fairly and with respect.
