Aqua review

Despite being just a stones throw from Deansgate Locks, Aqua couldn't be further away from the glitz and glam of the Sugar Lounge, Loaf and Revolution et al. This down to earth place is a great way to spend the weekend, if cheesy tunes and cheap drinks are your thing! Don't let that put you off though, as this isn't one of those dodgy, scallified venues - the many (many) times that we've visited it's been really friendly. If you're getting a bit sick of glam, or you've never even liked that scene, then you can do a lot worse than Aqua.

Your reviews for Aqua

Great tunes if you like pop (Which a lot of nice ladies do) not plush or a dive but a great night out and not pricey.

this must be an old review, a very very old review. Aqua is one dive of a bar, whilst playing the dreaded house music after they get done with the cheesey pop they proceed to show UK TV Gold on a huge screen, random. I should know, i work there, just hopefully not for much longer. Their lack of decent draught, decent bottles, and decent spirits is almost as worrying as the staff. Somebody from thomas williams go in and give them free bar blades so they can stop being amazed at mine?

Aqua recently refurbished and extended.It's a lot bigger inside with a new enclosed party room which can be hired out ,with it's own bar and dance floor.Great for the old birthday celebration!

Does anyone remember the painting that hung on the wall around 2000-2002 ish? It featured 2 girls sat on the floor against a wall, I think one was smoking and the other running her fingers through her hair having a bottle....
Homesick Manc looking for a copy of it to revive the glory days of yesteryear, in a house nowhere near Deansgate...

Cheap refurbishment that quickly got grotty since last time went. Considering the exhorbitant price of the drinks you would think that they would spend the money on a cleaner and air fresheners.

Don't hire the Aqua Bar for a party. I did for my daughter & although I had it booked until 2 am, they threw her & her guests out just after midnight. They refused to give me any form of refund. A right rip off

My old 6th Form used to have all their partys here.

It really is a dive, crap drinks, crap music lol.
Last time we went we only went for one as somebody gave us free drink vouchers and free entry. Went in had our free drinks and left.
There was like only three other people in the whole place, so we got them all up dancing haha.

I still don't understand either, giving us all that free stuff when we just took it and left for somewhere good lol. It will probably shut down soon anyway.
