This cosy yet vibrant bar has gone from strength to strength since owner Pascal created the Iguana Bar with its warm, friendly Med surroundings and atmosphere. It specialises in entertainment for all, with music from around the globe.

The Iguana Bar has perfected its chilled vibe, says the Guardian's student guide to Manchester, especially since the opening of the lounge area. The venue has given people a platform to perform and is used by a mixture of entertainers i.e. Jazz, Acoustic, Reggae, Latin, Poetry, Folk, are just a view and too many to mention in the diverse and unique set-up.

Monday Night is renowned for its ever-popular Mirth on Monday comedy night, hosted weekly by Manchester Comedian of the year 2002 runner-up, Des Sharples. The four-year old comedy night has broken new boundaries, by bringing the comedy circuit to new audiences, and has also spawned monthly-themed comedy nights.

All music tastes are catered for with a whole cross-section of performers on Tuesday's Open Mic Night, with many of them playing for our Thursday's Acoustic Gig Night. Wednesday brings the True Poets Society. Sunday is host to the World Music Night, with sounds such as the Country and Eastern Band's Turkish and Kurdish music, the Nile Band's Egyptian sounds, Jazz, Spanish and Irish music, being examples of what you can hear.

Small functions are catered for via our function room to the rear of the bar, seating for around 40 people. Please phone for details, a deposit is required.
