About this place Iconic Bar

Iconic is a gay bar on Richmond Street, just off Canal Street in Manchester's Gay Village. Weeknights have been built around themed nights such as bingo and a Monday quiz. At weekends a resident DJ plays club anthems, classics and chart music, and the bar gets packed. It opens mid-afternoon every day, from 15:00 on weekdays and 14:00 at weekends, and closes at 01:00 on Friday and Saturday. Come early in the week for a chat and at weekends to dance. The rest of the Village is a minute away. Check the bar's social media for the current weekly line-up.

Great little bar. This is where I go if I’m on my own. Everyone’s friendly staff and customers alike. More of a pub vibe than the other bars which is much appreciated. Underrated little gem of the city centre.

Great bar, lovely staff and well priced drinks. Plumbing and worn out toilets in desperate need of refurb very smelly drains throughout on last few visits. Zero complaints otherwise!

Always live popping into Iconic Bar, Terry and the team are the most welcoming and friendly bunch in the village. If you're doing the gay pub crawl this just has to be on your list.

It's Saturday and there is no crowd at 7pm. I hoped for a better night. Drinks are fine not so expensive £4.40 budweiser.
