About Iconic Bar

Cafe - Gay Village
- Happy Hour
Iconic Bar is a hidden gem tucked away on Richmond Street, right behind Canal Street in the heart of Manchester's Gay Village. Once a hairdresser's salon, this vibrant little spot has evolved into a beloved LGBT+ community hub where strangers become friends in a cozy, welcoming atmosphere.
Boasting an impressive collection of over 150 gins to tantalize any enthusiast, the bar also offers a fine selection of quality draught and bottled beers, wines, and spirits. Daily happy hours provide great value, and weekly events like Monday night speed quizzing and Thursday bingo keep things lively. Gin Wednesdays and weekend DJ nights draw crowds, making it a hotspot for fun. With its friendly team and intimate vibe, Iconic Bar embodies the spirit of the Village.
