New York New York in Manchester

Good music, but crowded as always, but thats a good thing.

Insane and extremely overcrowded. Couldn’t move and caused problems between patrons.

Great atmosphere, great drinks and and a perfect venue for a night out with great staff 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Can not thank NYNY, Tracey and Lauren enough for the amazing experience I had when organising a surprise birthday party at the venue … 100% would recommend booking here for throwing a party and for even drinking in the bars downstairs. Never had a bad experience and always go back!

Early evening. They'd just hosted a wake, bit subdued. Previously excellent visits.

Always feel welcome here.friendly staff good music.

Such a fantastic gay bar it's a must day for anyone to attend. We live in Blackpool but we are definitely going back there soon as we get some more money

Great location and always great decor, but the flag !? And the owner.. The flag says: "the pride I have for you fills me with pride", which is a longwinded way of using the English language to say absolutely nothing and put it on a huge enough flag that it seems as iconic as Martin Luther King Jr. Also, the owner is an entitled B.

A lovely atmosphere inside. We arrived on Karaoke night, I was too self-conscious to go up the craic was very good! Well recommended.

Have loved the NYNY for well over 30 years... a great night out in the village always has to include drinks in the legendary NYNY.

Just a great to visit in Manchester

Good place to go on a night out, only downside is it can become extremely crowded and limited aircon so gets sweaty.

Great bar, great hosts, great nights.

Excellent Gay bi lgbtv friendly bar Where everyone is made welcome. Good place to go for drinks. Friendly staff and place.

I had a party in the private function room over the weekend, and Tracy and Lauren's excellent communication throughout the entire process was greatly appreciated. The bartenders were outstanding—they were welcoming, informed, and polite. There was a lot of assistance available to deliver the cake and balloons before the event, and the same service was offered while picking them up. Your needs are the staff's top priority. The function room itself is quite chic and has a cozy yet energetic club atmosphere. The saxophonist and DJ could both be accommodated by the superb sound system. Tracey your whole team are an asset to, keep up the great work you all do. I have one very satisfied birthday girl.

It's a good bar that also leads into a club. Prices are decent and there's no fee to enter.

Such a good bar......one of manchestersbest. Great drink prices, super friendly staff and even atmosphere

Fantastic venue with great staff and owner Tracey really cares for the community x

If I could I’d give this place a 0 as me and my young, female friends where touched my multiple men in the bar. Did not feel safe and was very scared to be there.

We came with friends last night,we have been many times and enjoyed it , we were stood at the bar a man barged into us and we told him to watch it , the bar man then told us to calm down didn’t even listen to what we had to say was really rude and so was a young barmaid really disappointed with both their attitudes appallingly bad customer service

The bouncers, Tom and Athena… you stole them all from entrance to stage and bar, your staff is SUPER. Really good job guys, always 100%😊😊

Me and my friends booked a bingo night with Funny Boyz for the time we were in Manchester. Unfortunately, it was very disappointing for us and was not up to our expectations. First of all, the booking said from 18 till 21:30. We were there at 18 and were told that we were very early. Then all of this hen parties started to come in. (I guess we missed that this was actually a straight girls party.) At around 19 we made it to our table, but then we realized that the bingo would not be starting very soon. The music : who let the dogs out and MacD, KFC and the Pizzahut. None of these songs will be played at a gay venue, but I guess that suits the taste of hen parties. The music was also very loud, that made it very annoying to sit there with your fingers up your ears. Then the "comedy" started. A drag queen with a d*ldo out while other queens lick it, pure comedy that we didn't see before. Still the bingo didn't start yet, two hours have passed and in the mean time all we could do is order drinks as that obviously the main goal of letting you wait for so long. None of the queens came to interact with us and focussed on the brides of the hen parties. We looked at our bingo card and it was as tiny as a stamp, if you had any 3 numbers it was a bingo. So even the bingo itself must have been boring to sit around and wait for the one number on your card to be called out. The prizes you could win? A dinner for two, a round of drinks or whatever, all of the prizes you can only spend in the venue itself. We left before the bingo even started, which we paid 28 pounds for. The venue itself was also very dark and outdated, and lights in toilet didn't work. Conclusion: gays don't go here, unless you love hen parties. You will be having a great night elsewhere.

Always a good night Tracey runs a good club

My partner arranged a surprise party for my 40th recently at NYNY. What can I say, the venue is great, but what really makes it special is Tracey and her team. I honestly had the best time, the music was fabulous and the drinks were flowing. All my guests said they had the best time. Thank you Tracey, always such a gorgeous welcome when we come to NYNY.

Recently booked here as a venue for my 30th- Great venue, great atmosphere. Big shout out to Lauren for all her help!

Seems to be the down and out venue of the village where all the turn downs from other venues end up. Smells unclean, has annoying ‘entertainment’ and is full of the wrong type of clientele. The drinks are far from cheap for what you’d expect in such a venue. The owner treats the staff terrible, I know a few of them and have heard their stories.

A fabulous bar in Manchester’s gay village. Always have a great time when I visit for a night out. The staff are brilliant, and the owner Tracey makes everyone feel welcome.

Great service friendly staff very helpful

Amazing atmosphere! And 5 star treatment from Mable, thank you! X

Used to be great in here for a night out with mates but it’s gone down the pan. The fun has gone out of the place over the last few months

Regularly visit this venue and have done for many yrs. It's always an amazing night, fantastic atmosphere, amazing service, and a safe space to have some fun .

First time in this venue and will definitely be back the next time we visit from glasgow x

Local bar to me, it's alright nice staff etc. doormen are reasonable enough. The queueing outside can become irksome and be prepared to be banged into... A lot... On packed weekends.

Great to place to meet people and have fun!

I am straight. Good for people who like to go 🚶‍♂️ their

One of my favourite pubs in the whole city.

New York is not in new York or in London, beer prices expensive and flat beer! Sort yourselves out.

Was there for a birthday, had a great time

Arrogant piece of work DJ. Requested a birthday announcement, told 2 mins... Nearly an hour and a half later we left without it. Thanks for ruining a special occasion

Lovely place go for drink 🍸 u feel welcome 🙏 staff very helpful

Best food I’ve had in a bar for our Cleaners With Pride 🏳️‍🌈 night out . Service was fab and the atmosphere too 🥳 x

Incredible place with employees who sincerely care about their guests!! Great atmosphere and a fun comfortable feeling that is truly genuine!!

Dark and music was really really loud. Couldn't hear what anyone said. We sat in a booth only to discover a puddle of spit on the seat next to us so we left. The venue has a good vibe to it but not to my taste. Definitely has potential and we probably just went on a bad day. Not at all wheelchair accessible also. Has steep steps to get into and steps inside too.

The best night 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Gareth was just so lovely and the whole team really looked after us!!! 🩷🩷

I didn't eat here. I took part in a drag led bingo night which was a hoot from start to finish. Every one super friendly.

I'm gonna give it to it straight as a journalist and a radio presenter who attended Manchester Pride for the first time, I only went to this bar for the first time to use the toilet and upon first impression after queueing up for god knows how long, has got to be the most unhygienic and most cramped toilet I've ever seen in Manchester. Heck, it's even smaller than my current bedroom! I WAS going to use it but then upon looking at the state, I immediately left in disgust. You're better off going to the toilets outside of this bar like per se, the toilet at the Le Ville Hotel, the toilets at Pixel Bar Manchester or the toilets in any of the NQ64 Arcade Bars. To make matters worse, there are absolutely no accessibility toilets at the New York New York bar which is a massive red flag and an offense towards disabled people. Le Ville Hotel charges you £1 to use the toilet but at least, it's kinda cleaner and the toilet is a little bit more roomy. Not to mention, it's better than nothing and unlike the other gay bars, the toilet at Le Ville Hotel tends to have a short queue. I am SO NOT returning to the New York New York bar to use the toilet if I ever attend Manchester Pride next year if they still don't have the decency to clean the female toilets.

Hopefully for pride 2024...they will get better speakers! Awful sound

I love Manchester Pride the whole vibe and it’s so lovely to see some familiar faces. We love Polly every year my sister and daughter excitedly look forward to seeing her. She never fails to get the crowd going. We love you Polly hope your knee mends. See you next year my love take care 🥰xx

love this place. barman is hilarious n goes out of his way to help people. hot drinks, lots of alcohol choices and a private area upstairs for parties n events.

Visited recently as a hen party for drag bingo & cabaret in the upstairs room and it was brilliant! Event was mainly full of hen party groups which was well organised, and the vibe was so much fun! Hilarious drag hosts including a surprise bit of cabaret from a Drag Race UK contestant. We had literally been there 10 mins and the party was immediately in full swing, with amazing music all night. Bar staff were really friendly and patient too, and drinks were good value. Would highly recommend for a great night!

Love it here, Tracy the owner is always so welcoming. Went in on Saturday celebrating my 40th birthday and she poured a celebratory shot for my friends and me 🥰 thank you for a great night!

Tracey’s the best. Best venue in Manchester.. look for her 🥳👌🏾😎

Great atmosphere, gender fluid friendly, great place for dancing the night away

Unapologetic gay bar - can't fault it - reasonable prices - fast service but does get very busy. Not necessarily somewhere I would go during the day but for a later evening / early morning beverage

Great pub good selection of beers and lagers nice staff.

Great stuff and wonderful landlady.. always have so much fun here

Absolutely fantastic night for Benidorm Bingo 🤣 My hen party booking was perfect for the night.

The artisty of these acts are so underrated! Loads of fun and games. Won't spoil it for those that haven't been. However the last act, was so poignant and heart felt it was amazing.. I cried it proper moved me. The rest of it was as mad as a box of frogs. The end though! Feels

Only had a couple of drinks .But great vibe and staff were great .

Great venue and Leon the doorman makes it even better

Was very dissapointed the other night after going to new york new york for my 10th time and almost being turned away at the door for "not looking gay enough" i understand the want to keep our gay bars as a sacred place but at what point did we believe its right to judge someone on there appearance on canal street of all places. Eventually after explaining i have come multiple times and have previously loved coming here we were allowed in but were followed watched by staff at all times. Not a very inviting experience

Amazing club , very inclusive and fun . Well run door and safe environment.

We had a part here was good turn out. Would of loved a beer garden, but center of Manchester so you can't win them all. We all had a good day.

Good vibe and busy... sometimes a bit loud being so close to the speakers.. friendly staff

Great vibe, even better when Polly is performing.

We absolutely loved this place. Situated in the gay village just a stone's throw away from the canal is this pub. On the left is a small bar but there is ample seating. When myself and friends were there a drag queen was doing kareoke with the customers and cracking jokes. The atmosphere was so friendly. On the right is a large room with a massive bar and a stage. We had booked a drag show and bingo. Our show lasted about three hours and then the staff removed the tables and transformed the room into a night club. We absolutely loved it and can't wait to visit again.

Had an absolute blast at the Benidorm Bingo for my hen party. Tequila Thirst was such a fantastic host for the evening, we all had so much fun singing and dancing. Massive hats off to all the staff here for being legends and working their arses off. 10/10 would go again!

So good they named it twice, like couscous

Love this place. Fun night with the drag Queens. Would definitely recommend.

Love the placegreat afternoon in there

Loved the Drag stand up. She did an excellent job on an intimidating group of 20 lads for a friend's stag. Fun entertainment and was quite an intimate and small venue

Love it such as amazing atmosphere ❤️

We had such a great time there. Cocktails are delicious. Tracy was marvellous with us. And what a show with Michael. Thank you so much ❣️ We will come back, for sure !

Great music, chilled atmosphere, nice low level lighting.

Fabulous people. Loved it. Thank you.

Love the happy hour and i did really like the karaoke just wish they didnt make us wait so long seemed like the drag queen that day didnt like me and my friend as others didnt have to wait

I had the best time. What a Queen 👑 in charge of proceedings. Have only given a 4 because I was too drunk to appreciate if it was a 5 or not. Can't wait to return to post a new review

Staff and atmosphere brilliant.. BUT sadly and this is not me being old , the music and the vocals from stage was FAR TO LOUD ,I've worked in the pub club industry may years and when the music is to the point it makes you feel disorientated and physically hurts to listen to its beyond the point of pleasure. I've been a couple of times before and the volume was definitely NOT that high . The party I was with all agreed.. people smoking outside said the same ..

this place is amazing, it is a safe haven for every type of person and im so grateful to be able to be apart of such an open and beautiful place, Tracy is such an amazing landlord, such a great night

Not really an LGBTQ safe space they just let any old scum bag in. Very tacky venue. This is the venue of last resort when punters get turned away from all the other venues.

I love the music in this club !!! For dance all night

Enjoyed its good place mixed peoples there its great time night time good respect each other

A place to let your hair down, drink, dance and be gay! Or not.

Amazing atmosphere, very friendly place with fantastic music.

Brilliant atmosphere, works party never laughed and danced so much...amazing place, lovely people

בר צפוף מעשנים אין מקום לזוז ממש לא חוויה נעימה דוחסים יותר מדי אנשים פנימה.לעולם לא אחזור לכאן

It ok for a night out but very small place and lots of people

Amazing cocktails! Best place in the village

I always have a memorable time here. Last week while in the toilets a drunk guy came in and dived head first into my urinal. He could of offered me a drink first like... Thankfully his friend came in with no top on and apologised, I swiftly left while the first man carried on puking in the second urinal. When I got back to my seat the man next to me got up to leave and knocked his drink over my mates shoes, he muttered "sorry" and left with his friends. At this point the floor was pretty sticky and I was having flash backs from Freshers week at uni so we decided to leave.

Great atmosphere, love it in here

Always a good place to visit and drink... One of the best welcome bar in gay village

This place is always so much fun

Det var 2 gæster mand og dame som ikke skulle have være lukket ind da de var så fulde at de næsten ikke kunne stå på benene.

Great venue. Lots of fun. Recommended!

Use to be nice but the atmosphere feels toxic

We were walking past and heard good music, we then went in and stayed the rest of our evening there, fabulous club with a fantastic drag act hostess. Soo funny and entertaining. Will definitely be back on our next time in Manchester xx

Lovely atmosphere, great staff and all in all a very enjoyable experience. We will definitely return. Recommended.

Great place. We were in the bar area, not the club. The barman, Wayne, was a lovely guy! Thank you. We'll be back

Always a good night for some music and a dance

Always fantastic fun, amazing music, great staff, crowd and atmosphere. Can't fault the place!
