bouncers were really funny and struck up a conversation quickly which is really handy- however the one major issue is the fact that my id (citizencard) was immediately rejected as they assumed it was fake even though this is a legal form of id backed by the police; to improve the experience they should definitely implement a system to verify all forms of id as this definitely hindered my experience.
I cant say much about the food but great choice of drink and friendly staff. Amazing music too. Perfect for my 25th bday spent. Will come again next time im in Manchester.
We popped in for a drink in the way to Manchester Piccadilly station.The server was pleasant and the beer was great. It was a bit quiet as it was early afternoon.
I dont think there are enough stars to show how amazing these guys are. Booked the venue for a 30th birthday party and they sorted everything out. Decorated the place so so well according to our theme and Bella was an amazing dj. Jackie and Crystal did such an amazing job and everyone was so lovely and made the night. Will be booking everything here
Came for pride weekend, 2 nasty bar staff with disgusting attitudes small girl dark hair and a young boy with glasses absolutely horrendous as bar staff can not control them selfs under pressure…All other staff were absolutely amazing door staff on point 2 bar staff Jada and Scarlett brilliant customer service as busy as they were there was no attitude from either of them, other than anything else I enjoy coming and visiting this place it’s worth the 5 Hr journey…
Bouncers pick and choose who they let in making out they had shows on, when clearly they didn't. And "try the next door" how rubbish is their customer service. Wouldn't recommend.
As stated in the review which I today posted on Trip Advisor, there is only one word required when reviewing Churchills in Manchester’s Gay Village…Outstanding! A focused reassuring security team providing reassurance, behind the bar is one of the best well oiled machine in a complimentary sense leading to each customer being served within 5 minutes and the award for the ‘absolutely nailed it’ category must go to the Friday Master of ceremonies/D.J/Karaoke aficionado bundle of talent that’s the glue which keeps it all together. Without doubt Churchills reminds you why you feel proud to come from Manchester. Thank you and congratulations to the leadership team and fantastic staff..Vinny (Kingston Town)
Rather enjoyed attending here. They hosted an Alternative Market even with burlesque performers. I Had mulled wine £4.50Spiced Rum £5.80Friendly non judgemental bar staff. Its Spacious, clean outside. Has a lovely seating outdoor area too. It's situated on Canal Street. I quite like this street. I'll defo return
The toilets admittedly weren't great but I really enjoyed myself, met some lovely people, everyone was lovely to me and my girlfriend. Will absolutely come again. Didn't go at a weekend though so can't say what that's like
Avoid this place. I would give 0 stars if I could. We went to go into this bar, bouncers were really rude to us as we went to walk in, they shoved my friend down the step and tried saying he was too drunk because of this, they then grabbed him and told him he wasn’t allowed in. This was the first bar we had tried to go to.
It was already a dump but since bar pop took it over its become an open sewer the toilets are by far the most scariest thing I have ever seen I had to pee outside the bar staff are off there faces on drugs like mkat and ket also see them taking poppers the dance floor Is a danger to society there crowd is old men and pups aka mentally unwell adults it should be demolished and start over 😵
Very arrogant bar staff. Waited 20 minutes for a drink and then got attitude when we eventually did get a drink. There are so many better gay bars in Manchester where the staff are friendly. Would not recommend and would not return.
Decent venue, nice bar staff, the absolute rudest DJ we've ever met. Despite our group having spent a significant sum of money on multiple rounds of drinks, the DJ kept stopping the music and individually targeting people and yelling for us to buy drinks or leave. I can see this is something that has happened with multiple past customers but could not believe it would happen to us. Said with true hostility and venom as well, a very very sad man.Completely ruined the atmosphere and will make sure myself, my friends living here, and anyone visiting never attend this institution.
Sat outside on a nice day after doing the great Manchester run, they only sell wine by the bottle but at £12 for a bottle of not bad Chardonnay me and my wife had a nice afternoon for £24 friendly barmaid, nicer surroundings and a lot cheaper than sat outside the northern quarter
Just passed by and the porter refused a table for two saying that he couldn't offer it just for two people because the table was at least for 4. Two minutes later two girls allowed to seat on that table. Okay 🙂
We had a brilliant day!! We had the most welcoming waiter. He’d only been working here two weeks but he was very professional and made us all (gay and straight) have a great day. Spectacular service from Shea. I’ve been down Canal Street for 10 years never really visited Churchill’s but after this experience I will be back!
Don’t mind coming in here but never again after the price I’ve just been charged!!! £17.20 for a fosters a fosters shandy and a gin and tonic! And served in plastic glasses never again!!!
Fantastic place Great Barr service clean friendly and helpful also I would like to say thank you to the one of the staff I did not catch his name with blonde hair in a black shirt & jeans for helping me and my girlfriend enjoy our night the way we did 100% be back also I apologise for the late review as it was our first time in the village
Second weekend open after lock down, staff are rushed off their feet and probably having an awful shift, and yet they're all still smiling and being really friendly and kind. I hope their boss appreciates them.
Not a bad place to start a Friday night. Not too overcrowded and lots of cheesy music. There was a karaoke act singing 80s and 90s songs so the vibe was very camp. That said, there were plenty of places to sit and stand and the music wasn't too loud that conversation was possible. My first time visiting the Canal Street and was a unique experience. Although I feel it would be much better being here during summer rather than a very cold January night.
This is a cheap and tacky, run down bar. They do reasonably cheap generic drinks, have loud music and karaoke and rough patrons. The toilets are fairly broken and the place is dirty and generally feels run down. It's interesting to occasionally pop in for a quick drink to see what the place is like. Good do with a complete renovation to bring it up to the level of the other bars on Canal Street.
Churchills on Canal Street has a very lively good atmosphere often with lots of hen parties at weekends. Karaoke on Friday's whats that all about!!!...
Depending what you want on Canal Street this Bar might be ok, but not for me, its crowd is mainly Hen parties, Big Groups and a load of guys trying to sing...
It's always nice to find a city centre pub that feels like an old man pub, but has a certain something. I guess, as James points out, that Churchills'...
This place has a great atmosphere and the staff are really friendly. As you may have noticed by now I do love a bit of karaoke from time to time and this...
To be honest, I'm not really sure if this is a really good pub or a really good novelty kind-of-straight-Canal-St pub.It doesn't really matter, because...
