A buzzy music and party spot since opening around four years ago, One Eight Six is set to relaunch this January, bringing fresh energy and a new chapter to Manchester's nightlife scene.

Now under new ownership, the live music and cocktail venue has been transformed with new booth seating and the return of its iconic dance floor. Promising unexpected twists, unforgettable nights, and elevated features for guests like bottle service and expertly crafted cocktail, this secret venue, tucked away beneath a barbershop and accessed through a two-way mirror, is relaunching this month with a stellar live music lineup, reaffirming its commitment to live music.

Featuring nightly performances spanning soul, Motown, and R&B and headed by powerhouse R&B vocalist Dean Mac, One Eight Six officially reopens on 31st January, inviting the city to rediscover one of Deansgate's most intriguing hotspots.
