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. Just click on the above link we can arrange rest!

If it happens to be sunny on your Manchester hen party or stag do, then check out our guide to the best beer gardens in Manchester

It’s not that often that the sun really shines in Manchester, but if you’re lucky enough to be blessed with sun on your hen or stag weekend, you’ll certainly want to catch a glass of wine or a beer in the sun inbetween your activities! We’ve cherry-picked some of our favourite Manchester city centre beer gardens so you’re not stuck.

  1. Dukes 92

Dukes 92 is the place to be when the sun is shining and it’s easy to see why. A beautiful setting in the historic part of Castlefield, the bar is situated right next to the Bridgewater canal and overlooks the Castlefield basin.

The food is second to none for bar and pub food (and they have just won an award). You can order delicious large pizza sharing boards that easily feed up to 4 so they’re perfect for hen and stag parties. And their chicken wing buckets are delicious and perfect for sharing.

With plenty of outside seating, the bar can hold larger groups and is therefore perfect for a stag or hen party. Manchester celebrities have also been spotted in this popular haunt.


  1. Epernay champagne bar

If you’re after a classy bar with an ambient and sophisticated decor, then Epernay offers all this along with comfy seating on an outside terrace. The terrace area is not particularly large and so it may be more suited to smaller groups on a classy hen party. Manchester really does have a best kept secret in this bar, as their website suggests.


  1. RBG cocktail bar

Set on the edge of the bohemian Northern Quarter and The Green Quarter, RBG cocktail bar offers a touch of class with the summer sun. It’s right next to the MEN arena and so it’s perfectly suited to those who are planning to include a music or comedy gig as part of their hen or stag party weekend in Manchester. With a sun-trap terrace and stylish cocktails and draught beers on offer, this bar is a lovely place to top up your tan.

It offers a wide range of traditional beers, ales and spirits and a typically English food menu. This is certainly one to be checked out by Stag Parties! Manchester bars do not get much more authentic that than this.

Premier League Fixtures Released - Info For Manchester Stag and Hen Party Planners


Premier Fixtures Released - Info For Planning Your Stag and Hen Party
Unfortunately it is that time of the year again where the fixtures for next season's Premier League campaign have been announced. As usual we have had a look at them and are getting you the info you need when planning your Manchester Stag Party and Manchester Hen Party between August 2012 and May 2013.
You may ask what the impact of the Premier League fixtures are? Well put simply when Manchester United are playing at home at Old Trafford the hotels and some apartment complexes in the city centre know that automatically they will fill with the influx of football fans and therefore increase prices and institute minimum stay requirements.
Stag and Hen Manchester can combat this with its relationships with a number of accommodation providers and allocations they provide us but due to demand are not always able to offer city centre accommodation and as a result our advice is where possible avoid a weekend where Manchester United are playing at home when picking the dates for your Manchester Stag Weekend or Manchester Hen Weekend.
You can find our dates on our Stag, Hen and Mixed accommodation pages but we also include them below. (NB the Manchester Derby is included as despite it being played at Manchester City it still causes the same issue)
If you have any questions or enquiries be they about these weekends or not then do get in touch and we can talk you through your best options on email or over the phone.
