  “A wonderful, intimate club downstairs. A lively, friendly bar upstairs. The sound system is top notch and they attract the finest DJ’s across the globe. It actually reminds me of how clubbing used to be many moons ago. If you like to bop, go to JB!”

  “Wouldn’t recommend going for a party. The Party was supposed to be to 4am which is already too early but I was like ok so I booked a taxi for 4am. At 3am the music stopped playing and the staff was like it’s finished. I travelled 60 miles for this party and booked taxi for 4am. Had to cancel the original taxi and pay for a new one more expensive. That’s not how it supposed to be ! I’ve been on parties all around the uk and Europe but never experienced this! You need to understand that not everyone is local and that It costs so much more money to get back! Absolutely disappointed! Would not recommend! If you reading this and expect parties to finish when they say they will you shouldnt go to this club especially if you travel from afar. About 2:30 I’m going to get a drink and they say to me the bar is closed. I thought weird but ok it is what it is. And then the music was turned off at about 3am! Management decided there wasn’t enough people for the liking. A complete joke. Yeah it wasn’t packed but it wasn’t empty either. People were still enjoying the music. Avoid.”

  “Great atmosphere. Excellent choice of drinks. Happy hour cocktails for £5, with an excellent range was great too! Excellent food choice to go with drinks. Large projector with events to watch, golf etc. Staff were a bit un-enthusiatic and scruffy. Otherwise, good and friendly service 👍”

  “I always love coming back to Joshua Brooks ❤️😊 It’s one of those places that never disappoints. The atmosphere is amazing every time, and the DJs are honestly some of the best — they always bring incredible energy and keep the vibe going all night. Definitely a spot I keep returning to! ❤️☺️🤭”

  “Seems like a great place, staff inside and out were good. I attended an event in the basement, really awesome atmosphere for DJs. Sound quality was decent, not amazing, volume was good. However, it was far too hot down there, 0 fans in use and no ventilation - if you don't like hot venues then wouldn't recommend. Also the event I went to was absolutely over capacity, couldn't dance properly at all. If you enjoy intimate dancefloors then it'll be great, if you're quite claustrophobic, this won't be for you. Didn't spend much time upstairs, but it did seem like a lovely spot.”

  “Sam was a fantastic bartender, super friendly and helped a large group of us on a solo shift. We wish him the best of luck in his future career. He played a great variety of Manchester songs that we hadn't heard including local bands such as Holy Head and told us all about new bands that were on the circuit. We look forward to seeing him soon 👍”

  “It’s a nice place and good fun, with great music and well-known DJs. The venue can get quite crowded at times, and the underground areas could benefit from better ventilation. The toilets should be inspected more frequently, although visitors also have a responsibility to keep them clean. I would also recommend more thorough bag and pocket checks at the entrance.”

  “Went here while on holiday for a night of dancing and absolutely loved it! Top DJ's playing until the wee hours- Stanton Warriors and Goldie headlined. Downstairs is small, dark, grimey, and perfect. The ceiling will rain when it's packed, the bar service is slower than slow, but you're coming here for the music and people. The mid level was great, less crowded, can get some fresh air, and drinks are easier to grab. We were blown away by the friendliness of all the locals we met, so welcoming and up for a chat. Manchester has a world class nightlife scene and JB's should be on your list if you're coming to party.”

  “I've been at Joshua Brooks now a few times and can say what an incredible venue it is. The staff are really friendly, and the food is exquisite. I've been so a few of the events they hold their and the atmosphere is next level, the venue can get quite busy, but everyone is courteous and just there for a good time! In my experience, I've never had a bad time, absolute must go if in Manchester! I can't wait to go there again!”

  “I went for the student special deal which was a Poboy and a drink for £9. I also decided to have a side order of French fries. The poboy wasn’t exactly haute cuisine, I guess the quality reflected the price, they were a bit tight on shrimp. The fries were awful, far too over salted, so much I couldn’t eat them. This place is ok for a drink while watching football, but I wouldn’t recommend the food.”
