What had been a pleasant evening was abruptly ruined by door staff who made us suddenly finish our drinks with zero notice, fifteen mins after buying them as they decided to close two hours early on a Monday night, just because it was quiet. Next time, maybe talk to your bar staff who had happily served us the drinks just before deciding to close. Happy to be moved on with a wee bit of notice, but being harassed into skulling a £10 glass of Malbec isn’t the one. Do better team Via!

I visited VIA Manchester for Halloween with a friend, expecting the inclusive atmosphere we’ve always enjoyed (we live 5 minutes' walk away and visit regularly). Unfortunately, our experience was ruined by a bartender who used aggressive, rude gaslighting tactics. After we explained that our drinks hadn’t been served, he/they repeatedly insisted that they had placed them in front of us. After we explained that we had been standing there the whole time and had not received any drinks, he/they patronised us and instructed other staff not to serve us as we were "lying". This interaction felt like an unprovoked attack. It was our first time presenting in a more traditionally feminine manner at VIA, with wigs and makeup for Halloween, and it is concerning that there may be a bias that means that femme lesbians are treated this way by certain bartenders We were deeply disappointed by this experience. We hope management addresses this as soon as possible and allows us to access CCTV footage (if the bartender continues to insist that he/they have done nothing wrong, he/they won't mind us seeing the CCTV footage. When we asked for it he/they laughed in our faces and said, "Yeah, good luck with that").

Poor management. Poor customer service and lack of empathy. I spoke to three different staff members about our drinks vanishing when me and my friends nipped out for a cigarette. We were gone five minutes and on our return we noticed our £40 round of drinks was gone. The manager Matty used a lazy spiking policy excuse. I’m a bartender myself and in my years of working at a bar can count on my fingers the spiking cases I’ve dealt with. Ruined what was a lovely Sunday night I was having with visiting friends. No surprise it’s a dying bar.

We were in Manchester for 13 nights & ventured to VIA 3 times. It is a fun place for dancing, drinking & music. And the queens here actually know how to sing. No lip synching. The space is split over many levels. Lots of rooms and staircases tucked all over. Plus a few different places to buy a drink. Best of all: no cover charge. The place is attitude free: all are welcome. Bouncers & bartenders friendly & polite (although it is pretty hectic). On weekends the place tends to be packed. For a night out in The Village in Masnchester VIA gets our vote.

Got rejected because I’m trans 👎 don’t go here if you’re a t-girl, you won’t be welcomed. They didn’t specifically say why, gave me a couple of fake reasons that kept changing, but my straight cis girlys were allowed in and I got told no at the door, that’s the only difference between us. Gay clubs should be for all LGBT+ people, they’re supposed to be our spaces. Wild to cater to cishets but reject a trans girl. EDIT: to reply to their reply, I was not intoxicated. This was the first place we tried to get in and I’d only had one small glass of wine and lemonade whilst getting ready, I was clearly not even tipsy. We then went on to be accepted into 5 clubs in the gay village and had a great time, we were not rejected anywhere else, we were welcomed with open arms. It is absolutely categorically untrue that I was “intoxicated”. The bouncer initially said it was my dress that wasn’t good enough to get in, but then changed it to “we’re full”, but then continued to let other people in. We all know the real reason why 🏳️‍⚧️🙄 Instead of taking responsibility and reeducating their door staff, they’d rather turn the responsibility on to me. They clearly refuse to take any accountability or make any positive changes and instead prefer to victim blame and lie. Vile behaviour 👎🏼

Beautiful building with an amazingly unique layout. My friends and I agreed it gave Harry Potter vibes and made you feel very important. There were several balcony/walkway areas where you could stop and overlook the venue. Very cool, would recommend. The portion sizes for the drinks were very fair also, and reasonably priced.

Currently has the same bouncer that has previously worked at other clubs on Canal Street, who always refuses entry to would-be entrees for ridiculous reasons (“it’s regulars only tonight”, “no large groups tonight, I recommend going down the road” etc). This individual makes gay village a stressful place to visit. Hope to visit again and revise this review in the near future when the door staff have changed.

The crowd sang along to each and every song and the vibe was contagious. Hours flew by and we enjoyed ourselves so much. The bartenders were also super nice and did a great job. We will cherish the memories we've made here forever and will definitely come back again!

So fun, this is a staple for a night out in gay village. Drag and tribute acts are so entertaining. It is always busy on the weekends which makes for a great atmosphere. Although I have noticed there are more weird people in here compared to other gay clubs and bars but that’s not the establishment’s fault. Drinks are expensive which is especially noticeable when they are some very cheap places in the village. The interior is pleasant and it is large so lots of different areas of the bar to explore. Always have a good time in there

I have been here a few times over the last six months as I have started to revisit the Village after twenty years. I find the atmosphere here quite relaxing and unassuming. People are who they want to be and everyone seems to get on and enjoy the evening. Even I had managed to strike up a conversation in here and I am generally very shy. There's downstairs, where people dance a lot and there's upstairs where people talk and dance a lot. There are little cosy recesses, where people sit and chat a lot. I quite like it and generally come in here every time I visit.

Had a really good night in a generally mixed age and demographic (predominantly white but not all) and great to see gender neutral / fluid / trans / non-binary folk present and seemingly comfortable. Door staff friendly and chatty, not intimidating as I’ve read from a few reviews. Multiple bars over multiple floors, it’s a great place on multi-levels like an old theatre or manor. Space to sit and chill and chat or places to stand and dance. Drinks priced as you’d expect. Didn’t try the food. Five of us together, mixed heritage, aging from early twenties to late forties and it suited us all. Mix of music that catered to all our terrible tastes. Great to have gender neutral loos. All single occupancy cubicles so everyone can pee without a falsely created drama! Really pleased we picked this venue for the evening. Can’t compare to others as we didn’t move on having found this suited our group!

This place is not great. Uses to visit regularly back in late 90s early 2000s. Via has gone down hill. Rude and ignorant bar staff who'd rather chat to their mates than serve you and happily leave you stood there for 5 min while they finish their chat. The door staff are far worse. Rude and aggressive in their tone and on more than one occasion refused entry for no reason and once refused entry as "I don't look gay". If you are anything other than white Caucasian then don't even bother trying to get in!! I refuse to put my money in the till nowadays as the village has many better places. Places where the customer isn't held in contempt like they are here. The sooner the place closes and gets new owners and new staff, the better. Such ashame as it used to be such a good place. You only have to look at negative reviews. The same themes reoccurring. Same response from Via....let us know more so we can improve....this is clearly nonsense as same complaints stretch back years yet still no improvement. Goes to show they clearly don't care and their responses are a bad attempt at damage limitation.

I concur with some of the less than complimentary reviews on here. As an older single gay man visiting Manchester, I searched online for a gay environment to have a meal and this place looked good. On arriving there were 3 people behind the bar with another one floating about, one serving a customer the rest doing nothing. I was holding a menu trying to catch their eyes but was completely ignored for about 5 minutes. The menu is well presented giving the impression the food will be good, but the burger I had was only ordinary and included one fatty gooey deep fried onion ring, a hint of lettuce, a hint of bacon and 3 meat patties swimming in sauce. The venue is an obviously heavily used gay bar similar to many found world wide

Always heart-breaking when a great LGBTQ+ bar is let down by one or two unprofessional / unhelpful staff members. Tried to book a table for 7 people (10 days in advance) for my birthday, which happened to fall on a Saturday. Despite birthday parties being advertised on their website and being allowed to complete the booking online, they cancelled my booking with no explanation. I called the bar to help sort it out, and was passed to another person then was told that person does not deal with bookings, I left a number to be passed on and heard back a bit later. The person who answered explained very bluntly they do not accept bookings of more than 6 people online, they also would reject a booking at that time on a Saturday (evening 8pm). I asked if we showed up on Saturday would we be able to gain entry, they said no guarantee. I told them that their website advertises for these times, they reinforced that any more than 6 is an immediate cancellation. I enquired what is the point of the birthday booking system then if you can't book. They replied you can, just not any more than 6 and not on a Saturday night. I said you need to advertise that as your website booking system allows more than 6 people and bookings for a Saturday evening. They said it's to stop people showing up drunk in fancy dress and football tops. I said, "so if I book for 6 people, no fancy dress, no football tops, we show up sober and one more person decides to join us, is that is okay?" and they said no, they would not accept additional people and couldn't give us a table. Blunt, no compromise, no recommendations. Was told I simply could not pre-arrange 7 people to arrive at 8pm on a Saturday night. Really disappointed as our group is mixed of queer and allies, we wanted a safe and fun night.

Nice venue, however it has quite an elitist and unfriendly feel to it. Lacks inclusivity despite advertising itself as an “icon of the Gay Village”. Take your business elsewhere.

Chouette bar, bonne atmosphère. Mais ne prenez pas d'Apérol Spritz, vous recevrez une eau pétillante aromatisée pour 10€.

Sadly no longer serve food. Only buy a cup of coffee and that is only to see a long serving member of staff.

Amazing service friendly atmosphere I especially enjoyed the chicken wings with various sauces I asked for them to be crispy and they were cooked to perfection.
