Oscars Bar

What a cute and clever idea for a gay bar. The place is devoted entirely to musicals both theatre and film. Video screens display scenes from movie musicals and theatre performances. Very creative cocktail list. Cozy atmosphere. Most interesting bar in the gay village. Staff friendly and attentive. Don't miss it!!

Somebody tell me why I hadn't visited here earlier. I had such a lovely time. The place is bright, vibrant and full of joy. The drinks too are so nice, I absolutely have to go back and try more of the specialty cocktails because some of the ones I had such as the Evil Queen were superb. Even on the mocktail side when I decided I wanted one was perfect (Ordered the Matilda drink). All the showtunes and musical numbers too felt so happy. Loved it.

A small but cozy bar in the heart of Manchester's canal Street and the gay village. It's an oscars and Hollywood movies themed bar with the decorations, music and the cocktails list. Amazing drinks. Great for a cocktail break while bar hopping around the area. I highly recommend it.

Hidden down a discreet set of stairs off of bustling Canal Street is this charming, hidden gem. The drink menu is extensive, highlighting a wide and unique set of cocktails as well as some classics. The cocktails are named for classic Hollywood, and inspire a mood of old school speak easies. Throughout our visit joyful musical numbers played on screens around the bar. The staff were patient and attentive. We will definitely be back!

We overall love this bar and have been coming on and off for years. We first visited many years ago before they installed air con, and our complaint then was how warm it got when busy, the adding of the air con is brilliant. In recent days, we've become regulars. Where to start with the praise? Great vibe, musicals on the screens and lovely clean toilets. Lee, the doorman, is brilliant. A model bouncer and doorman. Last year, we unfortunately had an experience with a straight man who became aggressive to us and we told the bar staff who got Lee, whom proceeded to kick him out with 0 hassle to us and made us feel safe. This is our only bad experience in 5+ years of coming here as the place is great. The cocktails are inventive, delicious and bright to look at. Their new movie night Mondays is a great initiative and their changing boards of cocktails often based on musicals that have come to the city, are brilliant. The bar staff are so smiley, pleasant and love a laugh. One remembers my order every time which is special to us to be remembered. Our only complaint now, is that they're so busy some nights we never have anywhere to sit. But we're so happy they're full and business is booming!
