About this place Oscars Bar

Oscars is a small gay bar on Canal Street in Manchester's Gay Village, built around musicals and live performance. Singers and themed show nights are on regularly, and the crowd is mostly 30 and over. It is a place to have a conversation over cocktails, not to dance until late. When the weather allows, the terrace by the canal is the best seat. Our hours: weekdays from 18:00, weekends from mid-afternoon, until midnight, or 02:00 on Friday and Saturday. Older guides say it is closed on Mondays, so check before a Monday visit. Weekend shows fill the room quickly.

Popped in with a friend for a drink on Friday 6th - the two staff behind the bar would have completely spoiled the vibe if it weren’t for the younger bubbly lad with the curly mullet with fantastic customer service - we even got another drink just for his smile! Will be returning when he’s on shift :)
