Going back a few years the Ampersand was a private members club and a pretty decent one at that. Boasting private parties for the heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson and heavyweight media mogul Puff Daddy, this was the venue that no one could find, but everyone wanted to get into. The final few months in the venues history are vague and the Ampersand closed down to the delight of every other bar or club in Manchester. A kind soul decided to buy the place - but get this - they reopened it as a 'normal' club, for everyday people. How lucky are we! At this point the guys behind Twisted Elegance decided to put a Saturday night on there. They threw a lot of money at the promotion, branded the place, booked Miss Moneypenny's each month and threw open the doors (which incidentally are the nicest doors we've seen in Manchester) and low and behold the Mancunian public came down en masse...I don't like to get emotional about clubs, but this is still the only event that has made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up when I walked in, albeit a long time ago. Lets face it, this club is busy...on big nights the queue snakes around the corner on to Deansgate, and the door policy can be selective. But if you're meant to get in, you will do - just look the part and arrive sober (and before 11:30). It's not really a 'money' place, although if you like to drink the best this is the only place you can get Cristal Rose in Manchester, the Ampersand door policy is more on your 'vibe', the cut of your jib, and your attitude. If we've made it sound strict then we apologise, we get in every time we go and we're hardly Posh or Becks. The Twisted Elegance music policy is house, with a splash of house thrown in for good measure (think Garlands), and the DJ roster swings around the two guys behind Twisted Elegance, Pat Drury and Alan Hartley. If you want a quick history lesson on glam clubs in the North West then grab these guys, as they've promoted and played at the events that have shaped the scene. If house music isn't your bag then you might struggle to enjoy this... Inside, the Ampersand looks incredible. It holds around 500, spread over a huge main room and an upstairs VIP suite. At the front the DJ box sits just behind the main dance area, and behind that again is a stage with seating at either side. Two main bars serve drinks (prices above average), and at the rear the toilets serve those who need inverse refreshment. Overall if you want something a bit special, and glam clubbing is your thing, then Twisted Elegance at the Ampersand club will not disappoint. Why not add your own review?
