Newly revamped Revolution on Deansgate Locks makes it the perfect place to party on your stag or hen weekend in Manchester

Revolution Deansgate Locks officially re-opened on Saturday 15 June 2013 after undergoing a six-figure re-vamp and we’re sure the extended vodka-based cocktail menu, new look and music direction will be a welcome addition to any hen party or stag night in Manchester. The bar treated guests to a drinks reception, canapés, entertainment and DJs and some people were even invited to try their very own Manchester cocktail masterclass behind the bar!

The bar will now include an Attic room, Lounge room, Cocktail Terrace and Basement Club. We suspect the Cocktail Terrace will be a popular choice to start off the evening on hen nights! Manchester based live bands will be playing every Friday and there will now be guest DJs added to the mix along with a new Funktion One sound system, dubbed by many as the greatest sound-system on the planet - one for the stag parties! Manchester’s Deansgate Revolution has really taken it up a notch and there will be plenty of choice to keep all of your group entertained, which is a common requirement when there are so many people to consider.

And those on hen weekends in Manchester will be pleased to know that Revolution Deansgate Locks have now introduced their most extensive range of cocktails ever. So if you thought you’d tried them all – think again! If you fancy trying your very own Manchester Cocktail Masterclass at Revolution, we can arrange it for you as party of your package.

The Divine Comedy at Hard Rock Cafe Manchester

Ever popular with Stags and Hens for its food, atmosphere, friendly staff and convenient Printworks location, the biggest Hard Rock Cafe in the UK (there are unbelievably only 4!) was the venue last night for a Q Music sponsored gig by The Divine Comedy. Neil Hannon has been producing brilliant music since the early 90’s and his latest album “Bang goes the Knighthood” continues this trend.

Stag and Hen Manchester decided to go for a quick meal at Tampopo just across exchange square on the outside lower floor of the Triangle shopping centre beforehand. For Manchester Stags and Hens that don’t fancy any food at the Hard Rock Cafe Manchester and fancy instead just a Manchester cocktail masterclass with a spot of far eastern cuisine afterwards it is an ideal and relatively cheap option ahead of a good stag or hen night out.

As it happened though as we had been invited there was the wide ranging buffet that Hard Rock Cafe put on with their brill Manchester cocktail masterclasses to have before The Divine Comedy came on stage. So chicken strips, mini burgers, stuffed potato skins and warm brownies later the team were more than stuffed! We then hit the bar with avengeance – Sorry guilty as charged but we don’t get many Monday nights out and got a smidge Giddy! J

When The Divine Comedy hit the stage Neil Hannon was on good form and played a real mixture or back catalogue classics and new music from his latest album and had the crowd of 650 competition winners and mad keen fans eating out of his hands from the stage. He played for a full hour before shooting off to another appearance that Stag and Hen Manchester believe was on the radio (not confirmed and we can’t be sure

For a taster of the man himself and the fab venue that is the Hard Rock Cafe Manchester check out our Facebook and Youtube channels for pictures and videos from the Gig.

So remember stags and hens if you are in Manchester on a Friday night head to the Hard Rock Cafe at the Printworks for live music, good food, tasty cocktails and an atmosphere for food that struggles to be beaten.
