Side Street is a versatile day-to-night destination in St. John’s, Manchester’s newest creative district. By day, Side Store serves up matcha, croissants, and locally roasted Extract coffee in a bright, welcoming setting. By night, it transforms into a low-lit haven with bottles of wine, Tartuffe Bistro dishes, and an effortlessly cool atmosphere.
At the heart of the venue is Side Bar – a mid-century-inspired space with laid-back charm, a standout cocktail menu, and a rotating lineup of DJs playing funk, soul, disco, and house. Whether you’re dropping in for post-work prosecco or dancing through to 3am, it’s a sanctuary of sound, taste and good times.










Behind the bar, Side Space is a newly renovated lounge open from Wednesday to Sunday. Available for private hire, it has direct access from the street and a private link to the bar. Ideal for brand events, intimate parties, and creative takeovers, it’s a hidden gem for those looking to host something special.
