Via Manchester manchester

This is pretty much my go-to place in the Village. Great on sunny days to sit outside and watch the world go by. Fabulous decor and plenty of quieter seating areas. Pretty decent food as well. Generally good music and friendly bar staff. It can get a bit crowded on weekends/some evenings, and it's not the cheapest of places, but always the first place I recommend.

Gets very busy and not my personal taste in music. Good if you want more of a pub feel than a club. Clearly a very popular place.

It’s very refreshing to find a busy, popular gay bar where the staff are all polite, friendly and professional.

Great Sunday roast. Go for the sharing board. 10/10. Great service, great vibes.

Usually visit at lunch with a friend, quick service with friendly staff.

I absolutely adore this place! Been a couple times and had an amazing night. The bouncer (think his name was Lincoln) was so friendly, warm, smiley, helpful, it honestly makes such a difference to your night out! The bar is spacious, plenty of tables and dance floor space. The drinks are a bit pricey but the service is quick and friendly so I didn't really mind. I will definitely be back!

Great atmosphere, friendly and welcoming vibe. My go to place to visit on canal street. Never fail to have a great time 💕

We had a fantastic night in here, all the staff were wonderful, so friendly. Best bar in the village by far. Also just want to say the Door Staff were extremely helpful & very polite, via door staff setting a brilliant example for how to be with customers, well done all xx

This is such a relaxed place. The bar staff are really nice. We spend afternoons here having a drink and natter.

Lovely as ever! So glad to get back to Via after almost two years. Great atmosphere, lovely people and just wonderfully chilled and relaxing to sit out by the canal with a drink 🙂
