Manchester

One Central is fast making a name for itself amongst the non-mainstreamers, people who crave good drinks in a sexy environment, but who consider Deansgate Locks a little passé.

Romp took over Thursday nights after a bi-weekly slot at Industry. Whilst this venue was a little too industrial for Romp, One Central fits it like a glove, with a naughty interior, excellent drinks mixologists and a decent enough sound system.

Romp has always been about having a party with a select crowd, and their door policy is bringing in a lot of like-minded people.

Musically Romp is across the board party tunes, with a smattering of electo-pop and old school new york - the sound system is more than capable of handling the beefier tracks, and the residents DJs Alix Walker and Xander are purpose built for this type of vibe.

There are drinks offers for those that have been hit hard in the pocket, but it's worthwhile spending a few pounds experimenting with the wide range of cocktails, including the delicious champagne based drinks. The bartenders here know their stuff, and are more than happy to converse with you about which cocktails are the best, and they'll no doubt knock you up something if it isn't on the menu, although it doesn’t come cheap.

Overall we love Romp, and it deservedly sits in our top five list. It's intimate and select, with a near-perfect music policy and high class liquids - what more could you seriously ask for?
