About This Event

Open Decks at THE ENT BAR is your chance to catch some seriously talented DJs spinning everything from house and techno to garage and drum and bass across a full night of proper Manchester nightlife. This is the kind of event where you'll discover fresh local talent and established selectors all mixing it up in one room, making it perfect if you're after something a bit more underground than the usual city-centre clubs. The rotating lineup and open decks format means every Friday night feels different, so there's always a reason to come back.

THE ENT BAR sits right in the heart of Manchester city centre, tucked away in one of those spots that feels like you've found something special even though it's minutes from Piccadilly. The venue's got proper character with intimate lighting and a sound system that actually does the music justice, plus the crowd tends to be genuine music lovers rather than the stag-do brigade you'll find elsewhere. It's become a real hub for Manchester's underground electronic music scene over the past few years.

Getting there's easy – it's walking distance from Piccadilly station and there's plenty of bars nearby if you fancy pre-drinks. Doors open at 21:00, but the night really gets going after 11pm, so don't feel like you need to arrive bang on time. Dress code's casual but smart-casual wouldn't go amiss; it's 18+ only, so bring valid ID.
