Leather and Cruising Venues in Manchester
- Company Bar – Popular with fans of leather and muscle, Company Bar is a men-only establishment tucked away in a basement. It can be found under fellow gay venue, The Molly House on Richmond Street. The music might cover all extremes, but you can expect a relaxed atmosphere, large crowd and a happy hour that seems to go on forever.
- Cruz 101 – Huge members’ club in Princess Street pumping out house, disco and pop music during the week, and could be considered a pretty generic gay club. However, it does occasionally lay on some big fetish events at the weekend especially in its basement club Sub101.
- The Eagle – If it’s a masculine nightspot you’re after, this men-only bar could be right up your alley. Again located in the Gay Village, The Eagle is modern and discrete, and throws some of Manchester’s best fetish events. It’s known for being a ‘no nonsense venue for men who like men’.
- Basement – Spacious complex of low-lit showers, saunas, steam room, Jacuzzi and spa pools that’s open 24/7. There are also private cabins, massage rooms, a lounge / café, a cruising area and glory holes.
- Alert! Billed as Manchester’s premier gay fetish night and taking over Sub101. Alert! is a monthly event for ‘those who prefer their clubbing with a bit more sleaze’.
