Manto review

The original Manto returns to Manchester, and boy is this venue steeped in tradition. Long before 'Queer as Folk' brought Manchester's Gay Village to the attention of the rest of the UK, Manto was kick-starting the gay revolution in our fair city, with the infamous Breakfast Club. Fast forward 8 years and after a refit and a redesign Manto is back and it looks fabulous.

Downstairs the main Manto bar houses a small internet cafe and comfortable seating, the second floor provides club space and a balcony area, and at the top the former Sarasota restaurant is now a leather-clad lounge room.

Your reviews for Manto

Mantos is the most horrible bar on Canal Street. The bar area constantly smells of old sick regardless of the time or day you go. The toilets are amongst the worst I have ever seen, tiny, always wee on the floor, no toilet roll and the taps are falling out of the walls into sinks full of putrifying grossness.
The only good thing about it is the 241 offer, which is on every drink every day (except Saturday nights). It's a good place to go when it's warm so you can sit outside with your drinkies (and nip into Spirit toilets instead of subjecting yourself to the horrifying Mantos experience).

I think its DISGUSTING that straight people need a membeship to get into Manto's now i was in there almost every night and always had a great night in there the B.O.G.O.F'S USED TO GET UZ ALL WRECKED AND WE LOVED IT

BUT GAY MEMBERS ARE ALLOWED IN STRAIGHT CLUBS WOTS ALL THAT ABOUT

VERY DISTURBED FUN LOVING PARTY ANIMAL, DESTROYED BY THIS FACT, can any1 tell me why it has to be like this, the straight dont call the town centre STRAIGHT CENTRE ONLY OR WITH A MEMBERSHIP its soooo silly

This is single handley giving people the wrong impression of gay people by ordering a membership only, gay people are ace, but there stopping the likes of me been straight mingling with them OR THE OWNERS OF THE BARS ARE

PLEASE HELP ME OUT!

Mantos is ace and has lots of happy hours. Staff seem friendly enough even if some of the customers last time I went in look as if they are from the set of shameless but there didn't seem to be any trouble-The toilets were a bit grim but as soon as I walked in some extremely nervous lad glanced in horror to see who it was and I realised hed got proper stage fright using the manky urinals and I was too busy trying not to laugh my head off
