About Pixel Bar Manchester
Pixel Bar is located on Thomas Street in the Northern Quarter. It's got a solid 4.7-star rating from over a thousand Google reviews, so clearly, they're doing something right. Open most days until 1 AM, except Friday when they're closed, Pixel Bar really comes alive on Saturdays until 3 AM. They offer a range of features, from bar games and a great beer selection to trivia nights and even a private dining room. The vibe is casual and trendy, drawing groups, tourists, and those who appreciate an LGBTQ+ friendly space. They provide a good range of drinks – alcohol, beer, cocktails, hard liquor, and wine – alongside food and arcade games. It seems they are also committed to accessibility, with a wheelchair-accessible entrance, restroom, and parking lot. Service is dine-in with table service, and they offer free water refills, plus happy hour deals on both drinks and food.
