About Company Bar

Company Bar is one of Manchester Gay Village’s more specialised venues: a men-only basement bar with a strong following among bears, leather fans and their admirers. The entrance on Richmond Street leads down to a compact, low-lit space away from the brighter Canal Street bars. The evening usually starts as a straightforward place for drinks and conversation before the music and crowd build later. It is direct, unpolished and intentionally adult in atmosphere. Opening is concentrated towards the end of the week, with especially late Friday and Saturday sessions. Check the official site before travelling because its published schedule has changed over time.

What to expect

A dark, compact and adult men-only bar with a bear and leather following and very late weekend closing.

Fab bar! I was in Manchester for 6 nights. This was my go-to place. Staff, exceptional. Beer, great. Prices, some of the best in the Gay Village. The staff are incredible; I had to say it twice! Honest and straightforward discussions are exchanged here! I had lively and frank debates; I loved it, and it's allowed! The Village lives on! My fellow punters were welcoming and friendly. Lastly, a shout-out to security, charming.

As an queer individual I love being prejudiced against. Told I'm not welcome at a place I thought I should be welcome at. That's irony. I'm at one of the lowest points in my life and walked in just wanting somewhere to exist and got thrown out because they "don't feel safe" serving me. Based on nothing.
