Deansgate Locks Whitworth St West, Manchester, Greater Manchester M1 5LH

Baa Bar is one of the many trendy* bars along Deansgate Locks, and is one of the busiest on a Friday or Saturday night.
The decoration of the place is interesting - think Saturday Night Fever meets a padded cell.
There’s a wide selection of trademark shooters available at a pound a go (though you can splash out an extra 50p to go large). Most taste horrific, though perhaps that’s the point of them. There are a few tasty ones in there though!
They also offer a few cocktails, which have been rebranded as shootails. Not quite sure what the difference is except they don’t taste particularly alcoholic - nice and cheap though as you can buy two for £3.
Generally a decent enough bar for a couple of drinks if you don’t mind people taking themselves too seriously. Expect plentiful pouting.
*Warning: Punters may not be trendy. No guarantee can be made as to the trendiness of the WAGs that drink here. May contain nuts.

Definitely one of the nicer pubs this end of Deansgate, the Knott is a great place to unwind on a weekday evening. There’s a good selection of beer on offer, and the food is very decent if not particularly adventurous.

AMC Great Northern - 16 Cinemas

The AMC Great Northen cinema is slightly smaller than it’s main city-centre rival, the Odeon, but what it lacks in screen numbers it makes up for in service and value.
The screens themselves are smaller on average than those in the Odeon, however as it is a much quieter cinema you do benefit from a more intimate setting. Having said that, screens can still fill up on opening nights of big films, so it’s best to turn up early to get a good seat in these cases, as the front row seats are very close to the screen.
Ticket prices are slighly lower than those in the Odeon, although confectionary prices are, as with all cinemas I know of, extortionate. Fortuntately for money-conscious people like myself there’s a Sainsbury’s just across the road that sells a variety of chocolate and soft drinks (although no popcorn and hot dogs… perhaps they could still break into that market?)
In summary it’s the best city centre cinema if you’re looking for a quieter, more relaxed environment to watch a mainstream film. If you’re looking for greater choice of mainstream films it’s worth checking out the Odeon as an alternative, and if you’re looking for arthouse films you should look out for the Cornerhouse.
