The ones that end with eating a kebab at the back of the bus slopping mayo and lettuce all down your jeans and a nice top ensemble.

Luckily Bo Jo deemed it safe for bars to swing open their doors a few weeks back now. Now they’re back on their feet and have got to grips with a new one-way of life it’s about time you get a ruin-the-next-day night out pencilled in your diary.

Behind Closed Doors
Open until 3am
If you like your drink washed down with a bit of soft porn, this is the place for you. They’ve got all the social distancing measures in place and are currently open for walk-ins only so you don’t even need to book! You can get tables for between two and six people until 3am. Cheers to that.

Twenty Twenty Two

If just drinking isn’t enough fun for you and you need a bit of ping pong-related competition then head to Twenty Twenty Two. They’ve reduced they’re opening times ever so slightly due to Miss Rona but are still open until 3am on Friday & Saturday and 12am Wednesday and Thursday. Jobs a gooden.

Black Dog NQ

If your first day back in the office turns into a messy one and you’re wandering around the streets of the Northern Quarter at 3am wondering where to go, this is the place for you.

NQ64
Open until 2am
I know for a fact that even though all you furlough people are officially sick at every video game ever, you’re not gonna stop playing them yet. Mix a bit of booze and (socially distant) socialising into it and you’ve got yourself a reet good night. Get involved.

Have you ever been on a night out in Manchester if you’ve not danced on the tables in MOJO? They’ve even got a fancy phone ordering system so you don’t even need to get out of your chair. Food is also now officially back on the menu and they’re recommending you book.

New York New York
Open until 2am
The city that never sleeps, and now a bar that seemingly never sleeps either. This village institution keep their doors open until 2am on a weekend, giving you more time to sing and dance on the tables. Probably the most fun you can have in the whole city after hours that is.

The Seven Oaks
Always open
The city’s worst kept late night secret, head over to this pub at any time of the day or night and you can grab a pint. The only problem? You’ll need to work in the industry and if they don’t know you – you’ll need a payslip from the bar you work at. Once you’ve coughed up the information though, enter end enjoy!
