The Living Room – 80 Deansgate, Manchester, M3 2ER map
- The Living Room is a classy upmarket restaurant and bar situated on Deansgate. Replicating it’s wonderful sister bar, JW Johnson’s, which once sat next door, this was the first in the now national chain and has been popular with celebs and wealthy Mancunians since 1999. Weekends are very busy and a strict door policy is often in place. Weekdays are a little more relaxed without losing any of the pretense. Drinks can be expensive but that’s easy to forgive for an experience as good as this!

Manchester Bar Reviews 
i went last year with a few girlfriends with a voucher for a free meal from glamour magazine. i have to say it was fantastic. the atmosphere felt just like i was in an episode of sex and the city. it was very chic and simple. the food was amazing. it must have tasted even nicer beacuse it was free.
everything was clean and fabulous. the toilets were even cool! all in all, it was so good that i just bought loads and loads of drinks to make up for the free meal. oh and ladies- the male waiters are HOT!!!!
Not the best place in the world… visited once it was like being at a Burberry fashion show full of chav-like older people who think they are the dogs bollocks.
hi there,
i have visited the living room twice before, the first time may i add was a few years ago and i with a group of 4 friends got asked in, then last year when i came with a group of 6 ladies, we was turned away, now 6 of us are coming to manchester on the 30th of june and i want to show my friends around this plush bar, is there any chance you could let me know asap please if we will be ok to get in, and if yes do we need to go on the guest list etc, many thanks sam

Dear Mr/Ms/Mrs Living Room
I am a very polite well presented mancunian who earns a good living in infastructure who likes to indulge in the finer things in life now and again,but unfortunatly all the decent,trendy(clean)bars in manchester don t seem to let anyone who opens their mouth and sounds manc could you tell me why this is or even guide me to this path of rightousness because id love to frequent your establishment.
yours Mr Fontain

Hi I am organising a hen night for approx 20 people i was wondering how we get onto the guest list or if you do any special packages for a meal and drinks?
Many Thanks
Toni
How do you get on the guestlist? x
Its all part of the business . There is nothing that attracts people better than having a queue of desparate wannabees pleading with doormen on a busy public pavement. Believe me there are much better public venues than this unfriendly money grabbing ‘TACKY ‘ venue.
PS girls watch your handbags
F T A O . of the Manager,
My self and my husband visited the bar on the 1st October this year, which was last night, in all there was 10 us in our party, we arrived in the bar at8,00pm. at aprox.10.pm my husband and my self left the liviing room, to go to the ATM machine and 15 mins later when we arrived back at the living room we was asked if we was on the guest list , i ask pardon, he asked again, i explained that we had just nipp out to the ATM and had already been in the bar, and had friends in side , still he repeated the same question, we have been comming to the living since it opened some years ago,i have neve not once been refused entre, OR BEEN ASK IF WE ARE ON THE GUEST LIST,i had to ring my friends to explain the we had been refused back in the bar,i will never go back in the place again and my friends refuse to as well, we have all eaten and had many a night in there, we have spent many times well over £300, on a evening in there,, NEVER AGAIN,
