When you think of Manchester England, do you think of just the schools and culture? What about the nightlife, though. Well, if you haven't really paid attention to this cultural part of Manchester, you have no idea on what you are missing out on.

The Nightlife in Manchester is as lively as the day time if not more so. With everything from Clubs, Bars, the DJ's and the restaurants catering to those who love being out at night, you might want to sleep the day away just so you have the energy to keep up.

So why don't we take a few of these exciting things and break them down so you might have an idea where to start.

Clubs had gone out of style in the early part of 1990 and only recently became popular again. One such club is The Attic, which is located just south of the Towns Center. Another is the Thirsty Scholar, which is located downstairs. Another is South, which offers a live DJ on Saturday and is based on the 60's and 70's era. Then we have the Dirty Bar, which helped launch New Order and Factory Records. The Dirty Bar has live music every weekend and some during the week.

Then we have the Star & Garter who has music that makes you not only feel the music but also throws it in your face. Peveril of the Peak, with its unique triangular designs, begs to be checked out.

Now that we have gone over the Clubs let's check out the bars.
