Grab your Lederhosen and get your hen party putsch on! Albert Schloss marries Berlin-style nightlife and live cabaret under one roof. Expect drag performers, brass bands, schnapps, and their ridiculous but amazing “Push for Prosecco” service – you literally push a button and prosecco arrives shortly thereafter!

It’s right by beautiful St Peter’s Square and nearby venues like The Anthologist (a lovely spot for pre-bar brunch). Visit on a Friday or Sunday for their theatrical “Friday Frolich” or “Sunday Service” nights!

Why nor try a burlesque hen party theme as a perfect pairing!

2. NQ64

It’s cool to like video games now, right? Well NQ64 seems to agree, as it’s the premier place to hang out in a group and relive the biggest triumph of your youth…beating everyone at Mario Kart! There’s something for everyone here, even those who don’t always like to step into the digital world – rows of classic arcade games like Time Crisis 2 (iykyk) and Street Fighter sit alongside some modern classics like Guitar Hero, with interspersed table-style games like Pac-Man dotted about the place.

I’ve yet to make mention of the bar too, which is fantastic! They boast a robust menu of video game-inspired cocktails that are sure to tickle your fancy (I know you want to try a Peach on the Beach). And to top it off, they have a cracking pizza menu! But if you’re not feeling pizza then its across the road from Northern Soul Grilled Cheese for cheesy late-night bites.

3. Popworld Deansgate

Is a Hen Party really a Hen Party without a trip to Popworld? Well, this isn’t no ordinary Popworld! This is one of the best Hen Party bars in Manchester – no doubt about it!

Located right on the canal, Popworld offers one of the best happy hours in the city with drinks galore on the menu.

The venue hosts popular club nights over the weekend and does get extremely busy! However with balconies overlooking the canal (perfect in the Summer), club rooms to get your groove on and a 300 capacity VIP area! Reserve a glitter booth and get that playlist going—Spice Girls, Steps, or maybe something to match your dance theme?
