Top places to dance/music:

Night & Day
Everything from unsigned to up and coming acts come through here. A lot of bands that sell out at the University or the Apollo have more than likely played here a few years before.

The Deaf Institute
Just opened last year and has turned into the best place to go to dance. They have really good nights on there such as Hot Club, Cirque, and Now Wave.

Hat Club at Trof in Fallowfield
The guys that run Hot Club also do Hat Club which is on every Friday. They have a band playing upstairs, and then a DJ downstairs who plays old '60s music, and later on people always move the tables and chairs to make a dance area. It's a nice little bar and there are good hats on display!
