About The Canal Side Bar (New..)
70 Banquet
150 Standing / Reception
The Canal Side Bar stretches along our ground floor with those floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the canal perfectly. We've watched countless parties come alive in this space, from 50th birthday bashes that spill onto the private terrace to wedding receptions where 150 guests dance until the early hours thanks to our late licence. Those large leather booths anchor the room, giving groups their own corners to catch up while still feeling part of the main celebration. The private bar runs along one wall, meaning your guests never wait long for drinks, and our bartenders know exactly how to keep the atmosphere buzzing. We often see people decorating the neutral-toned space with their own balloons and banners, transforming it to match their theme, whether that's rose gold for an engagement party or bright colours for a birthday celebration. The real magic happens when you open those doors to the private outdoor terrace. Guests naturally flow between inside and out, especially during summer parties when the canal catches the evening light. We've hosted everything from relaxed canapé receptions where people mingle freely to sit-down dinners for 70, with our kitchen adapting menus to suit your style and dietary requirements. Our PA system handles whatever entertainment you have in mind, from live bands to DJs, while the flatscreen TV works brilliantly for photo montages during milestone birthdays. The air conditioning keeps everyone comfortable even when the dance floor fills up, and with WiFi throughout, guests can share their photos instantly. Just minutes from Deansgate railway station and the Deansgate-Castlefield Metrolink, your guests can easily make their way here and home again after a night of celebration. The Canal Basin and white footbridge right outside provide those Instagram-worthy shots everyone wants from their Manchester party.
