42nd Street, or '42s' as it is often called by regulars, is an indie nightclub located in on Bootle Street in Manchester city centre, only a few minutes' walk away from the city's Deansgate train station. The club is open Monday to Saturday, with a different theme each night: MONDAY - 'Relax' - '80s TUESDAY - 'The Best Indie Night Ever...' - the name says it all! WEDNESDAY - 'Retro' - '60s and '70s THURSDAY - 'From Manchester With Love' - Manchester ...
...if you're not a student! 42nd Street's website have a different flyer for each club night - print off one of these and you'll also get in free before 10:30pm. I've done this in the past and it does work! Be warned though - on busier nights (Friday and Saturday) you may find yourself queuing to get in as everyone else will have the same idea as you and will be trying to get in for free, so if you're determined to have your night out on the cheap, ...

Advantages: Not tied to a chain, good food, good beer, good live venue
Disadvantages: BAr closed when gigs are on, dangerous steps to loos when you've had a few

...quirky venue such as the Night and Day Café in Manchester - a little independent place that serves what it likes and isn’t another faceless chain venue. My first visit was in November when I went down to Manchester to see Jesse Malin play (check him out - he is the best!); he was in England for two low key gigs to start promoting his third solo album, the Manchester show was the closest for me. We telephoned to enquire about tickets and were referred ...

The play list is predominantly indie rock with some dance nights too. It is located on Oldham Street in the very heart of Manchester and just ... Read review

...has changed its decor over the last four years and become larger to accomodate more students and is probalby the best indie club in Manchester. The cheapest time to go is midweek and it gives student discount and cheap drinks depending on the night - it is worth picking up a flyer before you go. Its situated down Whitworth street throuigh a small door and down some steps and you could probably miss it if walking past. The music is good but has not ...
...four years ago you'd hear the same stuff as you do now - not that thats too much of a bad thing. It does get very packed and I have been there when the toilets have overflown and theres been a lot of water swimming around the dance floor and people puking into it. That was just a one off really and I do recommend spending some nights there. ... Read review
