The Brewers Manchester

This place is so much fun . The door staff are so welcoming and tolerant! It does get a bit wild and packed but that is the enjoyment and attraction. The downstairs is well worth the wait as the door team keep it safe by restricting capacity. Never seen any trouble here as opposed to other venues in the village! Highly recommended and the bar staff are extremely attentive!

I had such a lovely Friday night at Brewers thanks to Luke’s hard work and kindness. His service was flawless and he really looked after my girls and I. Thank you for making the night even more special Luke🫶

Posting a review because I'm annoyed and hoping for answers. At the beginning of April me and a group of friends went to Brewers at 11ish on a Thursday night. Unsurprisingly, it was pretty empty, only our group and 2 other groups there. But the music was good and the vibes seemed nice. It started to get busier around 12/12.30 but we ended up having to leave. Anyways, we've always wanted to go back to Brewers again but every time we've tried we've been rejected? And each time the bouncer says that they "don't know why" but they're "not letting people in anymore" The first time we went back it was again a Thursday night at 12.15ish and they said the doors were shut even though it was not full and didn't say why. We literally made the point that it says it's open till 2 and I can't see anything on the website that says there's a time where doors shut. We went back again last night on a Saturday and arrived at 1amish and the same thing happened (is says it's open till 4am). Not sure if they don't like big groups or just randomly decide who can go in and who can't or if there is final entry time they should say this?? But anyways been disappointing.

We come here when we go on nights out on a Saturday. It’s free entry and the vibes are great. Love gay village!!! Upstairs is more recent music but downstairs is more my vibe with older pop music. Not sure how often it is, but the first time we went there was a drag show on too and it was fantasticccccc

we arrived at around midnight and were instantly turned away and told to come back an hour later because our neurodivergent friend was “too drunk” (he had barely drank). we watched them let in multiple people who were visibly more intoxicated, but in smaller groups. when we came back an hour later, security was hostile, shouting at our group to leave just because we asked nicely why we couldn’t come in, which security couldn’t actually come up with a valid reason for. disgusting treatment, getting shouted at in the middle of the street felt so embarrassing and was entirely uncalled for, security staff don’t know how to speak to people appropriately.
