Been doing Funky for nearly 30 years and it still can't be beat. Great night out, especially after a few bevvies post-footy. New Year's Eve is always a belter.

Amazing music and alright priced drinks but the bouncers are so rude and unnecessarily aggressive, almost ruined the night by being incredibly horrible and threatening to kick us out because one friend accidentally brought their drink into the smoking area. She handed the drink straight over after hearing what the bouncers had said but it was followed by aggressive and unneeded comments.

Really good night, great tunes and brilliant vibes. Always a must visit when in Manchester!

NOT safe for women. They don't care about spikings or assaults. Bouncer physically aggressive and puts hands up women's skirts. The staff all defend each other

Awful bouncers, rude to everyone. I moved a chair after being allowed by a waitress and got kicked out by the security after refusing to leave (because I moved a chair)?with ?fuck off? being shouted to our backs ?it?s so 2000, this should be banned and police checked!!!! In today?s world this should not be allowed?

Great place to let your hair down and have a real disco.

A hip little basement club. Had a great night out. Music was good although they did like to over use the smoke machine

Good sound, sexy ladies, what more to ask?

Good clubnights with solid playlists and a funloving crowd. Queuing can be a nightmare even if you get there early. Unfortunately it gets too busy at times and is very hot. I normally remember this around half 12 when I am sobering up because I cannot be bothered to spend another 30 mins at the bar and too sweaty to carry on dancing. Shame is that it is a great night before and after the heavy crowds.

Absolutely wicked style of music with something from most genres all cooly mixed into a medley of a sweet assault on your limbs !! Warning: you will dance the night away :)

When I came here for a Carefully Planned Festival I authoritatively told Ian M. it was my first time, only to have shortly afterwards a flashback to buying several misjudged JD & cokes at the bar. It's an all right place for a dance and works well as a live music venue too - plenty of stage and standing space. I don't particularly love the way it looks although as Ian M. pointed out the red strip light is pretty cool. Overall not bad in terms of the dancing options in the NQ, although I would probably choose Guilty by Association.

Haven't been to Mint Lounge for ages and decided to give their Top of the Pops night a try. As a bit of an Indie fan I wasn't blown away by the music which was a mixture of old and new pop classics. Although not sure Wham falls into the classic category. The club itself was good, people were friendly and not over pretentious. Drinks prices were also good with wine costing £3 a glass and cocktails £4. Just wish the DJ played a better selection of music, pop doesn't have to mean cheesy. Would go to Mint Lounge again but on a different night. Maybe try Funkademia.

I've never been much of a lover of clubs, so have to admit I wasn't chomping at the bit to end our night here after starting in ye olde The Old Grapes (see review and enjoying the acoustic music in The Oast House (see review Fortunately it was free entry that night as we bumped into some guys giving out flyers on one of the neighbouring streets. Down the stairs we went and into the dimly-lit bar and dancefloor with its strobe lights on full. Thankfully there were quite a few folk in there (free entry to places you'd normally think would charge send alarms bells ringing that it'd be dead when you get inside). Cue a few hours of 'wanton abandon' (or should that be 'Dad Dancing') to some good playlists with a number of visits to the bar, you didn't have to wait too long to be served and they have a decent selection of choices. Though it stays open to the wee hours of the morning, by 2am we'd had our fill for one night - a good time was had by all but these places are just not my scene!
