Bar Pop in Manchester

5 stars. The maximum possible number of stars. Reflecting my excellent experience popping in to this bar.

Went for the DIVAS DRAG BRUNCH 10/10 would recommend amazing drag queens and all the staff were friendly+ amazing cocktails

Been going to this club for many years and always had excellent nights out however last night i entered the toilets in which two males were in (as this is uni sex) and when i went into the cubile they started messing around with the door. I reported this to door staff who removed two guys however when i turned around they were allowed back in and were visably following where i was going. When speaking to the door staff they said they looked at the CTTV in the toilet and did not see what i say happened and was trying to make me out to be a liar in which I AM NOT!! The door staff even wanted to get the two men out to confront me. As a woman I should feel safe to go enjoy a night and not be made out to be a liar. I will never return to this bar even if you paid me thousand pound!!

Bottomless brunch was a good laugh. Drinks were poor though as Diet Coke was like pure syrup. Drinks were also expensive from the bar. Atmosphere was fantastic and all the staff were amazing. Would definitely go back.

Had an incredible time at Bar Pop for my friends hen do. The entertainment was amazing, the performers know how to put on a good show and command a room. The set up of eating first then having bottomless drinks is different to other bottomless brunches, which some people in our group liked, others didn't. Either way, the raising your glass when your drink is finished was a good way to do it - the service was good! We could see the bar staff working really hard to fulfil all the drinks orders. 100% recommend Bar Pop for the Drag Brunch especially. Perfect for a group day/night out. Food was good enough to line the stomach, nothing special but wouldn't make or break the experience.

The shows are really great but the quality of the drinks are very poor.... served in very cheap plastic and small cups. The cost at just under £20 for 2 double spirits served in these poor cups spoils the experience. There are plenty of better bars on Canal Street to visit.

Very strange place. Don’t thinking will ever go again.

Whenever we visit Manchester, we always pick Bar Pop to take in a show. It’s a wonderful night full of laughter and great entertainment Bar Pop you hold a place in our hearts for a guaranteed Belly laugh. Everyone works so very hard to produce and deliver a fantastic show

They hand out these free shot cards but then when you buy a drink they tell you they can only be redeemed downstairs. You try to use them downstairs and then downstairs is locked. Absolute scam artists.

Not the sort of place I would normally go to, but my mate took me and it was really fun. DJ was great and had a nice atmosphere

I enjoyed my time there and the bouncers were actually quite friendly and pleasant to chat to, despite the other reviews. My one gripe is that whenever we saw any gay couples kissing, they were swiftly told to leave (happened three times on the night we were there). Never saw it happen to any straight couples, but felt a bit weird to see people who are meant to be in a safe space kicked out the door. And yes, the floor is incredibly sticky, it's like walking on jam 😂

Came here on Friday with some friends , got to say the bouncers very friendly and chatty it was a nice change to see bouncer chatting to customers 😊

Got a few drinks with friends at the outside Was very inpressed how huge this place inside is.

Had the most amazing night I can honestly say that this was the best bottomless brunch I have been to, the food was really good the service was outstanding I never had to wait for a drink literally hand in the air and was instantly served and the entertainment was outstanding never laughed so much

Reservamos un almuerzo sin fondo para nuestro sten do. La ubicación es perfecta, justo en el centro de Canal Street con asientos exteriores. Había muchas mujeres y gallinas, así que algunos de los hombres de nuestra fiesta eran un poco aprensivos. Pero todas las Divas fueron hilarantes y nos recibieron con los brazos abiertos. Jackie & Co organizó un espectáculo increíble, por el precio que paga: obtiene una comida decente, bebidas sin fondo y actos de cabaret. Las voces en vivo fueron excepcionales, los cambios de atuendo fueron fenomenales y la comedia estaba fuera de este mundo, todos estaban en puntos de sutura. Inteligente, burdo y divertido. ¡No puedo agradecerles lo suficiente! En general, si estás buscando un drag brunch sin fondo en Manchester, entonces no busques más - Bar Pop es el lugar para ir!

Bar Pop has one thing going for it, they host Kennel Klub. The Pale Ale is more expensive than even London and, but I had one pint, it was so wanted another, but they run out, and when they run out, they run out, not "hang on whilst we change the barrel". Then they have the nerve to offer me a lager. However, I did get refunded. Also, I went to get a single Jamesons whisky the previous night and was gonna be charged £8.30 (that's almost as expensive as the London price for a double), so I left, both times.

We went down to Manchester with the dog for the 1st time and it will not be the last , and this bar so so friendly and great and the dog loved it

Bottomless brunch was amazing! So much fun, very funny, worth the money. Highly recommend. Bar is very reasonably priced

Had a fantastic night lots of laughing singing and dancing

Tuvimos una tarde fantástica. Reservado para el almuerzo del día de las madres. Y tuvimos un tiempo fabuloso. Llegué temprano consiguió un taxi negro de victoria a canal steet que costó £ 10. Mejor que 20 minutos a pie. Llegué antes de las 12 y compré un desesperados, coca de dieta y ginebra y limonada y costó menos de £ 15. Uno de los actos de arrastre vino y nos dio un menú para reservar nuestra comida antes de subir al lugar y avisar de nuestro número de mesa. Se compraron las bebidas necesarias durante la comida y luego se dispuso de 90 minutos de artistas drag ininterrumpidos y bebidas. Seleccione sus bebidas de las opciones proporcionadas para su primera ronda. Una pequeña garrapata en la caja es fácil si su primer trago. Levanta el vaso para que el bar te preste atención y no volverán a llenar ningún problema. Increíble servicio, fantásticas 3 horas de diversión, lo recomiendo encarecidamente si estás buscando algo que hacer para la tarde desde despedida de soltera hasta celebración de cumpleaños o simplemente una tarde con las chicas grandes 👍🏻 para estos chicos. Nuestro rango de edad era de 30 - 75 años y todos disfrutamos. La música de las bebidas antes de la comida definitivamente despertará el interés de aquellos que eran adolescentes en los años 80. Sí, fui el único que bailó durante este tiempo 😁

I picked my friend up and spun her round and got told, “normal people don’t pick people up” I get health and safety but to say I’m abnormal, is such a complement I had to give 2 stars max.

No offense to your bar, but I did have some unpleasant interactions with the female guard. Racist Bar.

The atmosphere is good inside, but some of the staff members and security are very rude and do not care. My partner and i were blocked in and the security very rudely told us to move and started swearing at us even though we physically could not move. It put us off coming to Barpop again.

We booked the Diva Brunch for a friend's hen do. It's was absolutely fantastic. There's a good selection of drinks and as soon as one drink is finished another arrives. The food is basic options but was nice - and let's face it no one in a hen do I the gay village is going so they can experience fine dining! We had an absolute ball - the entertainment was fantastic. Everyone there was enjoying themselves and everyone was up dancing and singing. We'll definitely be going again

I wanted to take a moment to share my experience from my recent visit to your venue Myself and my 2 friends, attended the Teddy Swims concert on Monday 9th before heading to your venue. We often gather on Canal Street, and I personally have enjoyed visiting your establishment for many years whenever I come to Manchester. I noticed that one of your colleagues was mopping the floor due to what I assumed was a spill from another patron who was not in our party, this had happened just as we walked in. I am mentioning this as what I was accused of doing could have easily been someone else who committed this act and I was mistaken for someone else. We were enjoying the lively atmosphere, the music, and the DJ's banter. It was nice to see other staff members and customers joining in with us, creating a friendly vibe. However, my friend started to feel hungry, so we decided to step out briefly. My friends and I were outside having a vape before re-entering the bar when a female staff member at the door stopped me. She looked me up and down and, in a rude and cocky manner, informed me that I would not be allowed back inside. When I asked for clarification, she shockingly accused me of spitting on the floor, referencing CCTV footage that she has personally watched. I was appalled by this accusation, and my friends were equally shocked, as they know this behavior does not align with my character. I pride myself on being a polite and well-behaved individual who respects other businesses, and the claim that I would engage in such behavior is completely unfounded. To add to my frustration, I have a saliva phobia, which I explained to the door staff. Unfortunately, she dismissed my explanation without consideration. When I requested to see the alleged CCTV, the story changed; I was then told that an off-duty staff member had reported me and she hadn't actually seen me commit this vile act. This left me feeling even more confused and hurt, as I tried to explain that I was likely mistaken for someone else. Whilst I was calmly and politely trying to explain she had this wrong, another member of staff came outside who we have previously been having a giggle with inside – The staff member was working on the shot trolley that night and we interacted for sometime – so when this staff member came outside – I explained the situation to them, they said Well I didn’t see you do anything but this was out of there hands. I of course was very upset to be accused of such a disgusting act. We were merry but all in control of our behavior and I remember every little detail of the evening When we first walked in, I went to the toilet and found another customers wallet on the floor – I took a look at this ID and located him sat at the tables the windows with 2 other people and returned his lost wallet – I am telling you so you can understand that I am respectable individual who cares for others and being a business owner myself, I have huge respect for business establishments. I have never once in my life been refused entry from an establishment nor have I ever been asked to leave – it is just not in my nature to misbehave! I was unfairly refused entry for a false accusation I believe in maintaining open lines of communication and addressing misunderstandings, which is why I felt it necessary to bring this matter to your attention. I hope that you can review this incident further, as it has left a negative impression of your establishment. I am not sure what I want to achieve from this email but it is simply not fair that I was not given a fair chance when I did nothing wrong and this ruined our night and I felt your door woman embarrassed me and besmirched my character with this false accusation. I really do hope this is investigated with the door woman and she personally issues a formal apology – I did ask for her name but she refused to give it to me and said she is the only female door staff so I wouldn’t need her name This incident took place around midnight on Monday 9th March

Sticky floors. Brilliant music. Loved it

Dear Bar Pop Manager, I have sent a number of emails over a week ago with no response and no answer when I call so please respond via TripAdvisor. I hope this complaint finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to share my experience from my recent visit to your venue on Canal Street, as there is an incident I'd like to address. Myself and my two friends, who I haven't seen for 2 years, attended the Teddy Swims concert on Monday 9th before heading to your venue. We often gather on Canal Street, and I personally have enjoyed visiting your establishment for many years whenever I come to Manchester. Upon our arrival, we used the toilets and ordered one drink each. I noticed that one of your colleagues was mopping the floor due to what I assumed was a spill from another patron who was not in our party, this had happened just as we walked in. I am mentioning this as what I was accused of doing could have easily been someone else who committed this act and I was mistaken for someone else. We were enjoying the lively atmosphere, the music, and the DJ's banter. It was nice to see other staff members and customers joining in with us, creating a friendly vibe. However, my friend started to feel hungry, so we decided to step out briefly to grab a bite at McTucky's on the corner. After finishing our food, we were planning to return to your venue to continue enjoying the evening. My friends and I were outside having a vape before re-entering the bar when a female staff member at the door stopped me. She looked me up and down and, in a rude and cocky manner, informed me that I would not be allowed back inside. When I asked for clarification, she shockingly accused me of spitting on the floor, referencing CCTV footage that she has personally watched. I was appalled by this accusation, and my friends were equally shocked, as they know this behavior does not align with my character.

We as a family also own hospitality establishments and we work closely with employing door staff so I am fully aware of how they are supposed to act and this is simply not how your door staff should be treating customers who have done no wrong. I understand it may have been a misunderstanding but she would simply not allow me to resolve the situation and she would have been able to tell I was not drunk but simply in a merry mood. I have never once in my life been refused entry from an establishment nor have I ever been asked to leave – it is just not in my nature to misbehave! I was unfairly refused entry for a false accusation I believe in maintaining open lines of communication and addressing misunderstandings, which is why I felt it necessary to bring this matter to your attention.

I really do hope this is investigated with the door woman and she personally issues a formal apology – I did ask for her name but she refused to give it to me and said she is the only female door staff so I wouldn’t need her name - I have seen from other reviews there is another female door staff who others describe with short red hair - this person did not have short red hair so hopefully that will help finding her. This incident took place around midnight on Monday 9th March I look forward to your response Kind Regards

AMAZING❤️ visited on my hen weekend and went to drag brunch and visited later on at night too. The drag brunch was incredible, hilariously funny, Viva took the time to get to know everyone in the room and made everyone feel welcome. Lots of my friends have never been to a drag show before and all of them have fallen in love after the experience we had at barpop. Food was delicious. Atmosphere was great both at the brunch and when we went back later in the evening. Would highly recommend to anyone

¡Nos divertimos tanto que el arrastre fue fabuloso! La comida era muy buena relación calidad-precio! ¡Bebidas sobraron! La bienvenida fue simplemente maravillosa el dueño y la reina del espectáculo fue tan acogedor y encantador! La sala privada donde se lleva a cabo el espectáculo es perfecta y no demasiado lleno. . Todo el personal de arriba y abajo era tan encantador y servicial! ¡El show real fue muy divertido! Estaba en una primera cita y fue una fecha divertida gracias chicos que te amamos!

They have disrespected me and they have kicked me out of the bar, for no reason because I was a poorly educated person, without rude values, what a shame, please fire that waiter, he is young, of medium height and with brown hair...we must have a little empathy, we are people, from another country but people, thank you

If you are Spanish, I don't recommend it to you, they are arrogant people who forget that they work in front of the public and that they live by serving drinks, that those of us who go there are there to spend money and have fun.

Member of staff called Scarlet upstairs is the most ruddiest person you could have in this bar ! Barging past people and thinks their attitude is okay it’s a embarrassment that you have this person working with people and the front face of your business. Get rid and keep your the standards of bar pop and the excellent service you are known for !

Some of the staff are incredibly unfriendly (young guy behind the bar - I get customer facing jobs can suck sometimes, but dude made me feel like I was very unwelcome and a hindrance for…ordering a drink at the bar he worked at? He made a pretty hard effort to not serve me or anyone who wasn’t a bloke, which I can get as usually it’s the other way around, but after 25 minutes of being avoided it kinda got on my nerves. Also the bouncer who was on last night was on some weird power trip with the smoking area. just not a nice place, won’t be going again.

Great atmosphere and lovely staff. Lost my wallet and they were kind enough to post my drivers license to me and inform me that it was with them. Thanks so much!

Grace is amazing so friendly made me feel very welcome. Recommended

We came last night, the music was great however we felt the drinks were a little expensive.

Great team behind this place, cannot recommend their venue enough. If you're looking for a friendly, fun night - come here x

Vinimos aquí por mis hijas 21 calle y tuvimos un tiempo fabuloso, muy amable que no está demasiado lleno de gente, así que definitivamente recibes mucha atención las bebidas estaban fluyendo cargas para elegir entre la comida era agradable y el entretenimiento era brillante gracias bar pop por un tiempo fabuloso vamos a defo volver a amar a las chicas stokie 😆

It’s impossible to describe how bad this place is. Horrible staff, horrible security on the door. This place is a NOT GO. You have plenty of places to go but this one, I can’t even say one good word.

If you are Spanish, don't even think about coming. After spending £13 on 2 beers, we went out for a second to smoke and they wouldn't let us back in. We had the beers still whole inside, a real scam. The rude and racist doorkeeper didn't even give us reasons not to let us in.

Divas Show fue absolutamente de primera categoría. Si quieres una gran noche con un ambiente de fiesta y te encanta el entretenimiento en vivo, entonces será difícil encontrar un lugar mejor

The amazing boss baby drink™ was invited in those walls however was concerned about the drunk lady called Sandra she stole a car and drove into a liquor shop killing people in the process overall pleasant experience

Top atmosphere and some lovely people.

I visited this bar, I wasn't keen on the atmosphere or the general layout of the bar. Overall, the location is great and the prices of the drinks seem reasonable.

Normally I should give five stars because of the nice staff and the friendly people in the bar. Anyway, the music there is sooo run-of-the-mill...

Great place to come for a night out with friends.

The bouncers were incredibly rude it was -6 and they extra difficulties. were very uncooperative to help me find my ID . The bouncers were overall very unaccommodating with people with disabilities or with people with . You guys should reconsider the hiring process.

Didn't eat. New Year's Eve was a blast. We often come here for the entertainment and friendly staff x

Cheesy music, relaxed atmosphere, decent club

I’m writing this review after going to this place many times. It’s the worst place I have ever been too. They discriminate people of color. I have been refused to enter for no reason just because the security guard overheard my conversation with my friend in a different language. I thought these places are all about inclusivity and being treated with equality but I’m so disappointed that this is false advertisement and empty talk. You guys are more discriminatory than straight bars, which have been very welcoming even though I’m supposed to feel more welcomed and safe in your bar. I don’t even want to start talking about how some of the staff treated me inside. P.S. If you’re white please skip this review because you will be very welcomed and safe there :)

maxine was amazing!! lovely and generous and comfortable xx

Soy un habitual aquí y el personal es muy amable y acogedor. El lugar suele estar ocupado y hay una buena mezcla de música. Lo que me llamó la atención es que una noche perdí mi tarjeta bancaria y mi permiso de conducir y Bar Pop tuvieron la amabilidad de devolverlos a mi dirección en un sobre escrito a mano. Esto me ahorró muchas molestias, ya que en ese momento era la única tarjeta bancaria que tenía y no tenía efectivo en mí! Me hizo pensar que todavía quedaba gente buena en el mundo. Volveré a la defo, pero espero conservar mis tarjetas esta vez!

Fabulous entertainment at the bottomless brunch, great atmosphere and wonderful staff. Glasses were never empty and great fun was had. Keep up the good work 👏

Otro fabuloso show de Divas, este para Navidad. Recomiendo encarecidamente la noche de entretenimiento. Perfecto equilibrio de travesuras sin ofensiva innecesaria.

Door staff don't let you in sportswear.

This place was great. Booked the drag show and was not disappointed. Had a great night with hilarious host Jackie and the show was entertains and funny.. well worth the trip.

Came here for a birthday night out, music was great.

Good fun pub but if your of an age like myself maybe visit early has it gets very lively. Revisited sunday 10 November not great drinks not the best and drag hosted karaoke that was a bit hit and miss ,more miss

Great place to visit when in the village! Drinks are reasonable and music is good, thanks for mailing me my ID!

Went to pop bar 5th October for bottomless brunch and wow what a fantastic day it was. Doors opened at 12pm where we were made to feel welcome instantly. The food was great and the drinks certainly flowed. The show was great, played Name that tune which brought back some memories. The entertainment was brilliant. This was our 1st time to Pop Bar and I would certainly recommend it to all my friends. After having a few too many proseccos, I realised I had left my phone and coat there. I got in touch with them, Antonio was extremely helpful, they found my items ( with everything still in the phone case) Pop Bar even posted them to me., a Huge thank you for doing that. Overall my 1st ever experience of Pop Bar was fantastic 👏 10/10

6 of us being visitors to the city had a brilliant night out here. None of us had ever been in before but we were made to feel very welcome .. and suitably verbally abused as much as the regulars 🤣🤣!

Visited the bar pop establishment called Divas (in the basement). Was a small venue which focused on karaoke, overseen by one of two drag acts. The atmosphere was good, the singing not so much.

Visité aquí con 2 amigos un sábado por la noche. Fue una noche realmente genial! El lugar es muy divertido. Tuve una noche fantástica escuchando el karaoke y la gente mirando. También tuvimos la suerte de conocer a una estrella de Coronation Street. ¡Me encantó!

Went tonight and watched the drag show. Funniest thing I've seen in a long time. My sides still hurt. Highly recommend to anyone. Will go again sometime

They were very unwelcoming in there, harassed me and my friends, kicked us out for no reason when we went to go and smoke a cigarette. DO NOT GO HERE. angry redhead female bouncer found a problem with everything

biphobic: im a bisexual woman: theen who i came with were also bisexual but treated like intruders within a queer space. this was very disappointing. we were all made to feel unwelcome in the bar and told to leave once we had entered the smoking area. the space was very empty when we entered yet they still didnt want us there (although we bought drinks) honestly not worth the stress - go to filthy gorgeous at brewers on a Tuesday instead.

We've been a fan of Barpop for absolutely years... But our last visit was terrible. The place was overrun with youths and their vape smoke! I'm 32 and felt like I was at a youth center. We ordered 2 drinks.. £17!! Not the BarPop we remember.

We attended bar pops brunch on Saturday. When I say it was the BEST brunch I’ve been to in Manchester I mean it! Food was great, bar staff serving our brunch drinks couldn’t have been more attentive! The queens doing the brunch were amazing! So much energy and thought went into this brunch, from the games to entertainment everything was amazing! Quick drinks, lots of laughs, we have already planned to come back! If you need a brunch in Manchester bar pop is the place to be!

Nice little bar but the sound system is absolutely shocking so so tinny it was hurting to listen to so we had to leave after one drink

Solo quiero agradecerle al gerente de Blonde fit por encontrar mi bolso con mi identificación y pasaporte de la noche anterior.

Yo y 7 amigos estuvimos en Manchester el fin de semana pasado para celebrar mi 50 cumpleaños. Habíamos reservado entradas ‘oro’ para el Cabaret Divas para el sábado por la noche (calle 21). ¡Qué noche! En primer lugar, nos sorprendió ver los platos de comida en nuestra mesa, ¡qué extensión! ¡Honestamente habíamos supuesto que ‘mordisquear’ significaría cacahuetes y algunas papas fritas! Wow! Cada uno tiene un vaso de prosecco gratis también. ¡Estábamos sentados en la parte delantera, así que yo estaba en la línea de fuego! Los artistas en la noche fueron Jackie Love (quien era hilarante) Krystal Kane, Beverly Tightlips y Lavender Mills. ¡Todos eran artistas brillantes y tienen piernas mucho mejores que yo! La comedia fue brillante. No te molestes en ir si te ofendes fácilmente, no lo estamos, ¡así que nos encantaron las bromas y las mejillas! Me subí al escenario con otros 3 invitados para fingir ser Patrick Swayze en ‘Ghost’ e hice un dinosaurio de plastilina! Mis amigos lloraban de risa y yo también. ¡No tenía precio! Una vez que el show terminó hubo un karaoke después de la fiesta organizada por Beverly Tightlips. Fue muy divertido, no participamos pero disfrutamos de las actuaciones. Nos había encantado quedarnos hasta el final, pero estábamos tan cansados que tuvimos que irnos antes de que terminara la noche. Me impresionó mucho la relación calidad-precio con este espectáculo; una noche completa de entretenimiento, comida y efervescencia, todo por £ 25 cada uno! Sin duda recomendaría el Cabaret Divas!

Got there at 12 for bottomless brunch had to wait till half 1 to get the 1st drink, I also had to send my food back as the bun was rock hard.

Really fun night! 80s pop lots of dancing and great atmosphere

Normally a great place, but we have just been denied entry as one of our group only had a citizen card, the bouncer was very rude about this and snarky, what he said came across as racist as they outright said they do not accept citizenship cards ? I rang management and they confirmed they do not allow citizen card ID, sometimes this is the only ID people can get ? My biggest issue is the fact that my friend got denied entry because of the above ^^ but the same bouncer was letting viably young people into the bar without even checking there ids and was staring at us while he did this as if to prove a point. From looking at all the other reviews most of them are about bouncers. I will be emailing you to request the bouncers id and name as I will be pursuing thesis further as we have travelled a long way to come here, to the only safe exclusive place in Manchester, only to get denied entrance duu to racist bouncers ?? Ridiculous! Stay clear of this place, especially you plan on travelling a long way. It’s a racist place and the management are not any better as the sided with the bouncer not even willing to speak to us about this issue. STAY CLEAR OF THIS PLACE !!!!

Bar Pop in the Gay Village is an absolute gem! With good vibes, reasonable drink prices, live karaoke, dancing, and cabaret shows, it's a complete package for a night of entertainment and fun. The addition of cabaret shows brought an extra touch of excitement to the already lively atmosphere. It's perfect for a fantastic night out. Friendly staff as well.

Vine a uno de sus brunchs el sábado (10 de nosotros para una despedida conjunta de soltera y soltero) y solo quería decir lo increíble que hizo Lavendar Mills! !! y su co presentadora (siento mucho no haber pillado su nombre) Honestamente deberían estar tan orgullosos de sí mismos, que nos alegraron el fin de semana! Estaré gritando desde los tejados para que la gente venga a su bar y probar su brunch! su comida y servicio estaba en su punto! No tengo ni una sola culpa : ) ¡Muchas gracias por hacer nuestro fin de semana! ¡Volveremos en el futuro! D

En primer lugar y para la mayoría de los molinos de lavanda fue con mucho el mejor anfitrión que he tenido en un brunch en mucho tiempo, burbujeante, atento y simplemente increíble! ¡Debes irte si solo quieres puro entretenimiento y que te cuiden de principio a fin!

Place is amazing. Welcomed with open arms and staff are fantastic! It made our trip this place will be back when we are down next year

Great entertainment, quick and great service and lovely atmosphere !

I’m writing this on my partners behalf as she doesn’t not have a gmail account.The bar it self was great, fun atmosphere, the drag queens were amazing, good music, drinks and karaoke! I was on my hen do with my friends and family having the best time, the thing that let this place down was the bouncer with short red hair. She was absolutely vile, her attitude was disgusting she spoke down to us as if she was superior she had an issue as soon as we walked in. As a girl in heels sometimes our feet need a break she came over and said “I’ve told you to put your shoes on 3 times or you’re out of here” for a start she only told us once. I was with my friend in the toilet as she needed a hand because she was quite drunk she told us to open the door but because my friend had a playsuit on ment she had to take the whole outfit off to go to the toilet so I couldn’t open the door because she had no clothes on! She then told us to leave and radioed through to the other bars down the street saying “I was too drunk” yet this didn’t work as I was let it to all the other places with no problem as they said I don’t understand what she was talking about you’re fine and let us in and we continued to have a good time. It’s a real shame as this place was really good let down by one person it’s no wonder bouncers get a bad name for themselves, so if you see this woman just bare in mind that her attitude really is disgusting.

I hate to say it but I think this place is racist, my girlfriend was the only ethnic girl in this club and got asked to leave for “intoxication”! If you care about whats fair, I wouldn’t spend your money at this place people. They dont really care about their customers. My girlfriend is in bits because of how she was targeted, this could happen to anyone in a minority group, so please STAY CLEAR of this place. Myself and my girlfriend were sitting down by the entrance finishing our drink, until security approached us and said that she was “too entoxicated” and we had to leave. She simply wasn’t we kissed and she leant on my shoulder, before starting another conversation, security then escorted us out the premises which we did as they requested, because I thought that they were going to explain why we had been removed but instead they just said we had to go home, eventually we convinced the security to bring out one of the managers who said they would explain why we were removed, again saying that my girlfriend was showing signs of intoxication where she clearly wasn’t. PLEASE STAY CLEAR, this place doesn’t deserve to represent an inclusive community.

Fantastic night out what a atmosphere next time I come to Manchester I'll be coming to see you guys and recommending your place to people take care and keep up the great job you do thanks for a great time.

This is my new favourite bar to go too! Tune after tune! Drinks aren't too badly prices and I love anywhere that does an alcoholic slush!!! Even better now I've found the karaoke bar downstairs!!

2nd time at the drag brunch this year, expected to see same show but was different and even more entertaining. The queens are brilliant, all staff very attentive and good value for money. We will be returning.

2 half pints of generic on tap lager for £8 £6.40 a pint but two halves are £8. Just no. It's not Glastonbury.

A fantastic bar. So friendly. The staff and bar manager are lovely. Bar lad (ginger hair sorry forgot your name) went out of his way to help us. Really good drag show and karaoke . We’ll be back!!!

Its an amazing place great staff and very clean great music for me its the best bar on canal street

So came here for my sisters hen and the people behind me robed the glasses off my sitters head and the reason I found out was because a staff member came to tell me that it happens. I got a drink thrown at me and and I when I reacted I was grabbed by the staff a girl with red hair and a bald man I was pushed and kicked out the back door they were horrible. I would not recommend this bar because the staff are nasty and sit. Treat the customers the way they should be treated

Have been here before and always found it great. This time there was a few hen parties in which took up all the space and there was no space for anyone else. I am all for inclusivity but there has to be some kind of limit. Also the drinks are very expensive. They have a double up for a £1. A double gin and mixer then cost £8. Does that mean a single is £7 and so my double makes it £8. There were a few people questioning the cost but bar people were sticking to what they said. Overall a lovely atmosphere that could be improved.

The DJ on Friday needs a thicker skin, one of my friends joked about skipping a song and the DJ got the door man to speak to my friend and almost throw him out! Like grow up. The vodka in this place is vile :( The atmosphere was super weird as all the light are on? Like the what is that about? Definitely not a bar/club I would want to head to all night but 1 drink maybe to realise you need to leave straight after. Bar staff and drag queens are absolutely lovely though and totally it's saving grace.

Great fun bar. Everyone friendly. Loved it.

We had an AMAZING time at the Divas drag show. Jackie is an incredible hostess, putting on an amazing show and looking after us so well. If you want a great night out on Canal street then this is the place to be!

Divas Drag Cabaret was INCREDIBLE!!! A must see! Could not recommend more. Hilarious, smart and amazing entertainment all around. #bridesmaid

They said that I spilt a drink. I however did not and they hold prejudice against gay people. I would not at all recommend.

Couldn’t recommend the drag brunch more!! We went on a hen party & the value for money was great. The time you get to eat your food is not included in the 90 minutes drinking time & the choice of drinks is much larger than any other brunch I’ve ever been to. The show is fab too! The queens involve the audience and make it so enjoyable. Such a great experience, deffo go if you get the chance 🥰

Bottomless Drag Brunch was amazing! Jackie was a fantastic host alongside the rest of the team! The way the organise the brunch is great! 3 hours - 1 hour to eat and get settled, then 90 minutes of bottomless fun! 11 of us went for a hen do, I organised and the process was easy. They made the bride feel amazing. Could not recommend enough. Thanks! From the Kendal Crew.

First time in Canal Street and thought Bar Pop looked welcoming...big mistake!! Bar staff were generally unfriendly. Asked for a bar menu with a cursory response of "no...we don't"...I attempted some humour but this was met with a dismissive look as the staff member walked away...clearly not interested in any additional customer service. My partner went in to get drinks and was met with the same mardy attitude...couldn't even muster a smile. We decided to quickly finish our drinks as the atmosphere from Bar Pop was dismal. Returned our empties to the bar and left. The most unwelcoming place. Wish we had checked reviews first as the awful manners seems to be a recurring theme. Praise be for the next pub we went to "the Goose"...an awesome wee place, deserving of the 5 star review we will give. Take note Bar Pop! Maybe some customer service training from the Goose staff would be of some use.

Charged me £20 for ONE vodka red bull and glass of water. TWENTY POUNDS!

We recently visited Bar Pop for Diva's Drag Cabaret Show as a group of hens, and it certainly didn't disappoint. This experience was the absolute highlight of our weekend, leaving us in complete stitches from start to finish. The show was hysterically funny, and we really hope Scotland is one of the stops on your worldwide tour. So if you're looking for a night filled with laughter, glamour, and unforgettable performances, Diva's Drag Cabaret Show is the place to be. Leaving me with just one last thing to say, and that is Coochie Meow Meow! ❤️❤️❤️

Good place as it's safe to visit
