Manchester

Can't believe above reviews! Sat night was awesome! small group of us went, only second time I have been, and I thought the atmosphere was amazing! Yes I had a dress and heels on (no fake tan though) but still know how to rave! defo up there with the Arches and Fabric.

are they strict on ID

any1 reading /writing these obsurd reviews that sankeys is any good is unfortunate not to of been to any of the days of when it was sankeys soap, iv been going for 8 years and the place was heavon on earth, i went to the closing down and re-opening ntes (plumps) and me and 20 other regulars could of cried.... its full of hip/trendy poshies and the music is now cheap n tacky... fuc*ing end of an eera, u poor poor people!!!!

im a regular at sankeys been going about a year and ur guaranteed to have a good night ive never had a bad one there yet atmosphere is good never any fighting coz the bouncers are scary tall he he but its a good place to be every one there to have fun and i always do my favorite place in Manchester at the minute ......

Sankeys is not how it use to be. I was so disappointed at new year it was an absolute waste of money. Not much thought gone into the theme what so ever. The bouncers made an akward atmosphere and at 3 when paid 30 each for tickets till 6 where trying to tell me i could not go back in when i had stepped 4 steps past the front doormen. Use to be great now greaty below average.

by far the best in manchester, used to love Venus but Sankeys is amazing, can't wait to go again next week!

sankeys is a mint night, even the house djs are ace n worth the tenner in. buy your ticket in advance, saves time, money, f*cking about. we've never had anyone turned away, jus be nice to the bouncers, theyre all alright ppl....u gotta remember they deal with more druggies than a rehab clinc on sat night, so yeah theyre gonna be intimedating, its their job. shame about the new smoking arrangements n the loss of the big projector outside....but basically try n lose urself in the awesome music n hope ur cig cravings aint too harsh!!

How much actually are the drinks?? heard some nonsense. I hope its not f*cking true. no one everyone pills it in there.

I live opposite Sankeys and my apartment overlooks it.. From when I have been and what I can hear almost every single night it seems to have some great music and cracking nights.. Anyone.... party at mine ???????????

Sankeys is a great club for those who know anything about electronic music. def recomend. The Northern Answer to Fabric

Sankeys IS the best place to party in manchester, refurb is brillant, the night is what you make it, yeah it can be full of t*ats and pretensious people who can be clicky, but dont let small mined people wreck sankeys reputation. Rock it, ignore people, enjoy yourself chill out, sankeys is the place to be, and give the dorrmen a rest after all how would we feel having to put up with a small minority of t*ats allnight long!

I heard Danny from Embrace has a regular DJ slot, and a night for unsigned bands. This sounds like an excellent oppurtunity for the young and talented. Well done you.

Sankeys is pure Heaven...!

It reunited me with Mao Bonita at Sasha on 30Aug07!

First time, thought it would be moRE classy foR the money. Its tiny and its too dark n drinks a rip off. Oh n the bounceRS ALL look well stressd not v friendly. Geez. Best bit woz the f*ckin excellent MUSIC,

Oh I still love Sankeys.Fri is and always has been a much,much better night than Saturday and girlies,why you wearing heels and straightening your hair? I'm 28 and used to go in 2001/03 almost every weekend.Back then it was a sweat box,people dancing on their backs,swinging from the pipes above the old dj box (which was in a better position then) and all the barmen were on pills who barely charged £2 for a drink or mostly gave away free (thankyou Andy). Any night is what you make it and I'm, eternally gratefull I can look back on my early 20's and know that this club has brought me so many happy memories and fun nights out. A strapless top and a pair of baggy jeans is all you want in there,lets stop this pretentious stuff.It doesn't feel right in there,it's a cool,underground gritty place that's losing it's edge a bit..bring back Tribal Sessions and the 12hr day raves 5 times every Summer!Danny T 2002-we love you!!

mint!!

Not a fan of the new decor or the new crowd... But never had any problems getting in the place, just be polite and try not to look totally off your tits before you go and you'll get in fine. A smile for the bouncers always works wonders! I've even been bought a beer by one before (admitedly he did hold me up by my neck against the wall, but thats another story) If you go with a group of mates go on a night where its someone you want to see and ignore the pretentious t*ats and pull some shapes. Fridays are alot more laid back affair, but still hit and miss... I've been times where half the crowd there just stood still, but then other times where everyone has crouched on the floor and got raving on ground... (thank you dave spoon). In all its a class venue still, admitedly without some of the old magic and dirtyness it used to have and the drinks prices are a joke, but then again it is a club so to be expected! I cant count the number of times i've been to this place, but the number of times I havent had an amazing night is maybe twice.

sankeys is the dogs bollocks iv been going for years and nothing beats it

GOING TO SANKEYS NYE FOR 1ST TIME. WHAT IS AVERAGE AGE OF THIS PLACE AS SEEMS AS THOUGH THE WHOLE OF MANCHESTER JUST CATERING FOR THE 16'S - 24'S. NEED TO KNOW IF SANKEYS WILL BE OK FOR SOME OF US OLDIES!

f*cking awful, hateful club. the refurb is terrible, the queues for the terrace are ridiculous and the crowd is incredibly deansgate, with girls with fake tan and heels on. sort this out, i'm not going back there until they do. bring on 24th jan with the opening of the club where the old paradise factory was, that'll send sankeys into the ground.

we (6 lads) went on Saturday. We were a mix of first timers and very occasional visitors to Sankeys. We had no trouble getting in and had a very good night. well done Sankeys. re the review below, maybe the bouncers spotted your little "not all together" ruse and considered you might have been up to mischief. just a thought.

A group of 12 of us drove up from Cardiff to go to Sankeys on sat. All of us are in the industry some of us are DJ's, Others are club managers, promoters, radio PC's, etc. We paid 11 quid for tickets, queued (not all together) then some tw*t of a doorman said our "faces didn't fit". What sort of reason is that??? when I asked what the reason was he wouldn't tell me just started pushing me out of the way. we were only refunded 10 quid out of the 11 and we were not the only ones being turned away. It was obviously the case if you have been there before you are alright to get in. (so if you are going there I suggest tell them you have been there before)also, loads of people who had tickets were turned down so don't buy tickets ahead of the night cos they must have made a fuc*ing fortune on the booking fees. So thank you shankeys for f*cking our night in Manchester up.

Ok went to Sankeys last night sought of on a wim, new it was £12 but had the money. Firstly it's lucky we got in because the three asian lads infront of us got refused entry. Then the Bouncer was like "Were do you go in town? Which clubs do you like and "What music are you into". Luckily i just said a few places and i liked house music couldn'eally think. But it was as though if id said the wrong genre of music or wrong club they would have told us to f*ck straight off. Then when we get inside there was none of the laser or smoke machine s*it going off, The one time before which i had been it was kaluki night that was on. It was just much better, It just gets f*cking better, i realise that they have rearranged the smoking section. Now we had to go up stairs to the top section(which by the way was absolutely heaving absolutely no space to dance with out hitting into people). And que up for at least 15 minutes so we could go for a cig, before you could just go outside when ever u wanted. Oh yeah and the music was s*it last night, we had been in Queer in the village before hand, the music was vrtually the same in Sankeyts, but u have to pay £ 12. Sort it out, u f*ckers.
