via Stay22About this place The Company Bar
The Company Bar is a men-only basement just outside Manchester's main gay neighborhood. It's smaller and more specialized than the big places downtown.
Manchester has a busy gay scene, with bars for every taste. This one is for guys looking for a specific kind of community.
It’s a dark, cramped space, very underground. The leather and muscle crowd likes it. Its small size means it gets a lot of regulars who want something a bit more exclusive, a spot to meet people who are into the same things.
Happy Hour runs late, so you can get cheaper drinks while you soak up the vibe. Don't expect a huge amount of room — it’s a basement, after all — but that's part of why people go here instead of the bigger, more mainstream gay bars in Manchester. Check their site for hours and any special events.

Brilliant Bar Company Bar Staff Very Friendly Definitely Will Go Back There In Manchester
There was a woman in a man’s space - not the horniest, I must admit
As an queer individual I love being prejudiced against. Told I'm not welcome at a place I thought I should be welcome at. That's irony. I'm at one of the lowest points in my life and walked in just wanting somewhere to exist and got thrown out because they "don't feel safe" serving me. Based on nothing.
Avoid. Drinks are awful. Way better places to visit. No atmosphere at all.
Just left the place and honestly, I don’t even know what to say. About 20 minutes in, a customer’s dog pooped right in the middle of the bar, leaving a horrible smell. The staff cleaned it up immediately, but the mix of cleaning products—clearly not properly diluted—made the odor even worse. I ended up rushing out…
Great lively venue
