  • Bar Pop boasts a bright, two-level space with a lively bar, snug booths, and plenty of room to dance or mingle. Think creative indie-electro-pop décor inspired by its cheeky tagline: “IndieDiscoElectroHomoMadHiphopBritPopFunkyKindaShagtasticQueerThing” . The upstairs area offers a slightly calmer vibe but still buzzes with energy.

  • Bar Pop lives for fun, offering a full calendar of events:

    • Poptastic: Manchester’s longest‑running alternative club night with funky pop and indie beats.

    • DIVAS Cabaret & Drag Brunch: Spectacular Saturday brunch with 1.5 hrs of bottomless drinks, drag performances, games, prizes, and more.

    • Regular karaoke, live DJs, and themed nights—guests rave the atmosphere is “phenomenal” with “non-stop drinks and entertainment”
