BarPop sits at the heart of Manchester's bustling Canal Street in the Gay Village, serving as a vibrant bar-cafe spot.

It's especially popular with a younger, student crowd seeking fun and inclusivity.
The menu shines with affordable drinks deals on pints of Foster's, Inches, Heineken 0%, and shots of vodka, gin, rum, and more, often with mixer options. Highlights include weekly drag entertainment, karaoke, live music, cabaret shows, and themed nights like Poptastic featuring commercial pop, retro tracks, and party mashups.
