A Unique Music & Dining Experience

Housed in a beautifully restored Victorian warehouse, The Blues Kitchen blends vintage Americana with modern Manchester energy. Guests can dine downstairs in a lively open-bar restaurant before heading upstairs to the main stage, where live bands and DJs take over every night of the week.
