The venue is famous for its unusual "springy" dancefloor . The Cornerhouse is a good place to meet up before or after a show. The Beatles played at the Ritz in their early days.

Dont wear good shoes the carpets are very sticky. Drinks bit pricey and the draft Pepsi is horrid. Great venue though at the end of the day you come to see live music

Nick Simpson

First time here and it's a good enough venue.Bar prices were fair enough to a bit pricey .Didn't want to mix it so stayed at back beside merchandise counter - handy for putting drink down.

Phat Buoy

Absolutely love this venue for live music/gigs. Great gallery . Bring a hip flask as the bar prices are unjustifiable for the crap on offer

Mark Osborne

Good atmospheric venue for live gigs. Raised stage makes for a good view of the bands.

Stephen Holden

Great Atmosphere and enough seating upstairs for some who may find 2 hrs solid standing a long time

J Park

The Smiths made their debut here supporting the decidedly less catchily named Blue Rondo A La Turk on 4 October 1982.

Paul Sharpe

One of the few places where I could sit on a sofa to watch a gig!

Majka

Be prepared to relive the student days (unless you are a student in which case just go and enjoy).

David Edwards

Good venue - they need to upgrade their sound system though. It's a bit quiet compared to other nearby venues.

Michael Holdsworth

Expect to stick to the carpet and don't drink the Guinness . Other than that, it's a great venue.

Toby White

Awesome venue, went to Impericon here. Pre-drink first though as it's £4.20 a pint!

Paul England

Check their website for set times before you go in. Beer isn't cheap and there are loads of bars nearby

Joe Phoenix

Best venue in Manchester

Sally Hind

Authentic gig venue; better than the sexy hotel we all love <3

Rebecca Guest

Fresh juice and soda - pint of £2. Save your liver and your pennies as the beer is £4.60 a pint!

Steve Carter

Good venue. The prices of drinks are scandalous though.

Flupty Minami

Dancefloor springs about in no particular rhythm, that will give you an idea of the dancing ability of the people who come here!

Jane Bell

Go upstairs, balcony has oxygen ????

Alex McCann

Watch the prices of the drinks here - best to drink elsewhere before gig if you want to have an affordable night out

Claire Coward

Fantastic venue. Great sound and great size

Nathaniel Cassidy

The beer here, is dear my dear, so be a doll and drink first, somewhere near!

Paul Shepherd

Despite previous tips, no problems with bar staff whatsoever. Drinks however are incredibly expensive - never paid £4.65 for a JD&Coke at a gig before.

Eline????

nice place, good for erasmus parties.

James Harper

Such an awesome venue but the drinks are expensive as fuck!

Tom Taylor

Check stage times before you go in.

Saleh .

Linda Roy

Ooo..bouncy dance floor !=)Pricey drinks:(

Emma Cheers

Fucking extortionate price for a bottle of water!!!

Harry Coan

Worst bar staff you'll ever come across, stupidly slow when all they have to do is open bottles and cans. No sense of customer order what so ever.

Andrew G

How much for a pint?! Rip off!

Racco

The price of drinks . Fucking disgusting.
