- Manchester Press Club is a private members club open to people that work in the media and a few other public sector organisations i.e. Police, Fire. Now unless you know what you are looking for you won’t notice the Press Club, a recessed doorway with two small signs one ‘Manchester Press Club Founded 1870′ and the other ‘Members Only, All Other Callers Must Use Lloyd Street Entrance’.

Hello just wondering whether we could get tickets for 6 classy girlies to come press club,for my best friends 20 th birthday .we are all currently studying at manchester metropolitian university. Finally we would really appreciate this very much xxx
The Press Club is a strange one. You sort of feel like you’re at a wedding reception when you’re in there as the decor is slightly hotel’ish and the central dancefloor is surrounded by tables. Its a great place to go if you want to sit and chat to your mates whilst slowly getting paraletic until the early hours (it closes at 6am on a Fri/Sat). It’s a bit random because everyone will be dancing away til about 1/2am then the Karaoke kicks in, which is the perfect time as everyone is leathered enough to either belt out a tune or dance around to others doing so. The celeb thing is kinds true, Ive seen a whole host of Corrie/Shameless cast members, a Razorlight band member, Will Young.. and the funniest thing I saw was Ricky Hatton singing Elvis on the karaoke. Nearly got chucked out for taking a phone pic of my mate though, they have a very strict ‘No Photo’s, No Autographs’ Policy so be careful. Anyway overall it’s good place.. a very different night out to the usual club experience. I give it a thumbs up.

Hi Dave its Lee in Thailand, I have got a life size replica world cup football trophy for you to put in your club. E mail me, you will love it its mint. I have lost Brownheads number so this is the only way i can contact you.
All the best Lee.
Why pay to get in when you can go to your local working mans pub for the same experience- for free!
And “please, don’t take pictures of our celebrities”. Which ones are they? the ones that weren’t there?
Please, don’t bother.

hi, im a student nurse at mmu and i was wondering how you get into the press club? do you have to buy tickets or join a membership? how much is it? and when is it open? thanks
Hi,
You can’t get into Press Club if you are not in any way in adherence to its rules of entry. Press Club do not accept Hen Parties and do not make allowances, I’m afraid.
Sorry for any inconvenience

Hi i work as a support worker and i work late shifts sometimes at weekend and its no good when clubs close at three i was wondering if i would be able to join the press club
I’ve never lasted more than an hour in here. My mate who works for Sky usually gets me in as a guest after the normal clubs have closed. We soon realise in that hazy hour that we have already had a skin full…and maybe it wasn’t such a good idea lol!
press club is a legendary spot. had many a brilliant night in there, in fact, I’ll be going tonight!
Am open to offers for a silver cigar case, engraved Manchester Press Club, Golf Competition. hall-marked Chester 1905. mint condition. no owners name on it.
