Bar & Lounge

A Canal Street institution for over two decades, Velvet Bar is an iconic city centre cocktail venue in Manchester’s vibrant Gay Village. Open late on weekends, the bar combines moody, decadent interiors with contemporary flair - black velvet drapes, dark walls, rose gold accents, and smoky mirrors create an intimate yet stylish atmosphere.

Our carefully curated menu features signature and classic cocktails, a wide selection of spirits and beers, and the full range of Wines by Kylie Minogue, offering something for every taste. Whether you’re starting your evening, unwinding after a long day, or celebrating with friends, Velvet Bar provides the perfect setting for a memorable night.

For evenings with a livelier vibe, follow us on socials to find out when we have Live DJs playing.
