Big Hands review

Big Hands is often overlooked due to its small frontage and the confusing way it merges with a flower shop next door, but it's worth hunting down and once inside you're rewarded with a great selection of beers and a friendly atmosphere.

With such close proximity to the Academy this was always going to be an 'indie' bar, and there's a regular roster of talent that turns up to play in the bar. When a DJ turns up then they're jammed in in the middle of the bar.

Popular with students and gig-goers alike, Big Hands is well worth a visit.

Your reviews for Big Hands

i think big hands is an absolutely brilliant bar. i never liked it at first cos it seemed abit pretentious in a way but now i've realised its the complete oposite. the atmosphere found here could not be found anywhere else. its full of really friendly people, if your a girl, you hardly ever have to buy your own drinks with the nice people in here! there are some wierdo's but they are harmless and usually quite fun to talk to. there's lots of randomness here and it feels like everyone's your friend and it is just one big party. a bit overpriced but definitely worth it, as really you are paying for the atmosphere.
really nice bar staff and it is owned by a very sexy man with beautiful long hair.

After going to the loo I'd hate to see the kitchen.
The worst in Manchester.

I live next door to Big Hands (student accomodation) Its a really friendly, grungy little venue that plays decent music and has a menu of foreign lagers as long as your arm. Recommended for a relaxed night- although drunken dancers in there get a bit annoying.

you people are the creeps of manchester. why don't you crawl back under your corporate middle class pretentious little stone. This town had genuine homegrown venues before pathetic little wannabees like you moved in with your greedy grubbing agenda. Go to London where you belong.
