FAC251 – Factory Manchester

Good intimate venue for a gig and staff were nice, but the beer selection was terrible – both alcoholic (says my partner) and low alcohol/alcohol free. There are SO MANY delicious beers these days for those of us who don’t like to drink alcohol, so it’s really disappointing when the only option is Becks Blue – I know it’s cheap to buy in but it’s vile – they would sell a lot more if they got in a couple that actually taste nice.

Probably one of the worst clubs I’ve ever been to. Bouncers are rude, almost kicked me out for not having a ticket, even though I had one. The audience was awful too, never visiting again. Only good thing was that they played good music every once in a while. Absolute stinker overall.

Very overpriced. £10 entry and a £5 minimum charge on card machines. The stairs for going to each floor are not the safest, always very slippy and have gaps in between each step which is not safe for people who are drinking. It is good that there is different music on different floors so you dont get bored and can listen to different genres on different floors. The top floor – a drum and bass floor, also has fans and sofas which is nice because it can get very crowded and hot.

Went there to watch definitely oasis. Amazing atmosphere. Bar staff were lovely and the people doing the checking in. Warning no wheelchair access. Toilets are down 2 sets of stairs. Not the cleanest but brilliant venue perfect show!😁

Bouncers are awful. I went in last night with 5 friends and we weren’t in for long until a bouncer stopped me and three of my female friends when we were going to the toilet and getting a drink of water as we were too hot. He claimed one friend was too drunk and denied her going to the toilet or getting her coat. Another bouncer helped to kick my one friend out into the street who is small, looks very young and was in nothing but a t-shirt and skirt. The bouncers then became aggressive to me and my other female friends, getting up close and calling us names. This same bouncer called me two insulting names and commented on my outfit. My friend had to stand outside in the cold by herself whilst the rest of us had to grab our coats. The bouncers have some weird power trip especially over girls and do get aggressive and threatening. I won’t be coming here again only because of the door staff who are supposed to keep people safe but instead made a young girl vulnerable and essentially ruined our night out.
