Manchester235 is the entertainment jewel in the crown that is the Great Northern complex on Manchester's Deansgate; a luxury Las Vegas style gaming, dining, music, events and cocktail venue that is visually stunning and which delivers on all fronts. There is the James Martin Manchester restaurant on site (modern British), a private events space, a dedicated poker lounge (with regular weekly tournaments), gaming rooms – and a fabulous late night cocktail bar - The Vega Lounge where sports will be screened live and entertainment every Saturday night.
The drinks list is impressive, but if you fancy something a bit different, the resident mixologists are more than happy to tailor any drink at almost any hour of the day. The bar is open from 12 noon until 6am daily, with food available from 5pm-4.30am.
If you want to go exclusive, keep an eye out for Icon VIP Bar: sophisticated, luxurious and usually by invitation only. A private bar, Blackjack and Roulette tables are available for exclusive hire until 9pm most evenings.
