I had my 40th birthday here, hiring the downstairs rooms and terrace. The venue is fantastic, with a good and reasonably-priced selection of drinks including a cask ale and good cocktails. The staff were particularly excellent - helpful, welcoming and smiling, they really made the night, down to the doorman. Highly recommend for a party or event, and it’s also a lovely place just to stop in for an evening drink. Catering was by Dish Events - recommended by the venue, they were absolutely excellent (see my review on their page).
Went upstairs to the little gig space. Really nice for small intimate gigs. No lift but only small flight of stairs. Separate bar and toilets upstairs within the space, so once up, there's no need to keep going up and down which is a bonus. Also a place for hanging coats (not secure though) and the odd table and chair dotted about. I was on crutches and one of the bar staff very kindly brought me a high stool up so I could sit down and watch the bands. Nice experience all around.
Dette var kult kjempeoplevelse her spiller de norsk musikk. Ruby is nice
Gorgeous little place we stumbled upon! Beautiful views , blankets for outdoor seating , reasonable prices
Had a get together on Thursday for over 40 people many of who had not seen on another for over 50 years. Great venue and brilliant staff. Couldn’t have wanted anywhere better. Also so convenient for Metrolink and train. Definitely would use the place again.
Had a wonderful party here! Jacob was brilliant and looked after everything perfectly! Thoroughly recommend ❤️
Nice bar in Deansgate, it's selling point is definitely the canal side garden
We had a party in the upstairs event space. Great space for a party. The bar staff were efficient. Would recommend.
Trendy bar just below Deansgate Met station so very easy to get to. Friendly bar staff, and deck chairs outside to sit and chat. Venue rooms for hire and lots of decor to explore.
Didn't have any food usual pub which used to be a night club deck chairs outside on cobbled Street an tables near entrance plenty of space nice day an weather good - 2 rooms very good an interesting old photos of pub/lock an older ones clean tables not busy just a nice little pub on corner before going into rebellion near by staff friendly clean an quality seating some old cinema seats inside very unusual quirky kind of place quick pit stop an nice quiet drink
Fantastic venue for a party. Highly recommended! Wonderful, warm and friendly service with Jacob. As soon as I spoke to him I knew I was in safe hands as he knew exactly what we needed and had answers to all my questions. We hired the Lounge Bar & Terrace - completely private great space with a cozy lounge, bar and a lovely outside terrace. Everyone had a great night!
First going to this place it was my best friend daughter 30th birthday it was really good the door man was very polite ladies bathroom very clean only snag the young lady behind the bar was quite snotty with women I we noticed but very smiley with the males buy apart from that I would recommend Lock 91 for a venue 😊 we didn't have food as they don't provide buffet for quest I am told Thank you 😊
A great night here at my friend's wedding reception. One of the best nights out!
Great bar this ..... have a walk around .... 2 floors... great outdoor area .... 👍🏻
A lovely little venue for a business function - the outdoor terrace with a cover was great
I reserved the Terrace at Lock 91 for my 30th birthday and it was absolutely banging. We had the whole downstairs section and terrace overlooking the lock to ourselves, with our own bar and dedicated bar staff. The staff were really great and super accommodating. We set up our own food and simply plugged in our phone to the speakers which worked great. Can’t thank the team enough for making this day special and hosting all 35 of us. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.
I’ve been in a language exchange in Lock 91! Great atmosphere and nice staff!
Stopped here for a few cocktails, great deal on Fridays 2 for 1 cocktails all night. Great atmosphere and friendly bar staff too!
Came across this due to the amazing reviews online. Beautiful place on the locks and canal. Very nice play inside and has a great menu. Drinks are reasonably priced and would come back and of course recommend this place. We had a couple of pints of beer (beaver town and Cruzcampo) And A glass of wine
We booked the venue for a casual wedding reception and it was perfect for what we wanted. Jacob helped us customise our evening so we got everything we wanted for our guests and the afternoon/evening was perfect. Thoroughly recommend this place for a private hire
Fabulous venue for a private hire party. The staff are super friendly and helpful. Really good communications beforehand and no hassles. We've now used it for two 50th birthday parties in our family and both have gone down a storm. The venue is just the right size with a perfect sized dance floor.
Recently hired the attic room for my birthday. We had the best time. The communication from the venue manager from the beginning to the end was great. The room itself is such a lovely space. Would definitely recommend. .
Lock 91 is a brilliant venue, and the staff were great. We got married in vegas and had our home party here in the private upstairs room with approx 90 guests and would definitely recommend it. Jacob was very helpful, everything he recommended for the party worked well. The DJ was great, we just provided him with a feel of the music we wanted and he did the rest! You can order food to the venue for parties, we got the pizza as recommended by Jacob which was really good! If you don’t want the big wedding day, and want to have a good party (or any other type of party) lock 91 is well worth booking.
Myself & partner had our wedding reception at lock 91. We hired the upstairs area- one year in advance to our wedding day. I can’t say enough how amazing the whole experience was from start to finish at Lock 91. A special thank you to Jacob for all the help & support arranging the night and even decorating it exactly how we imagined. I was very anxious not been able to decorate myself as I had a specific vision however Jacob & his team did an amazing job. All the guests absouelty loved the venue ( as did we). If you’re having a wedding I would 100% recommend Lock 91, we are made up with our choice and couldn’t have asked for better- we will be back for every anniversary drinks 🙂
Hosted my engagement party at Lock 91 and had the most amazing night! Jacob was extremely helpful from start to finish. We hired the lounge and terrace area, the pictures on their site don’t do it justice because it’s such a pretty set up. All my guest have told me what an amazing night they and how extremely nice both bartenders were. Nothing to fault I would highly recommend
We had our wedding on 30th September 2023 with our evening reception at Lock 91 in the attic room. From 1st enquiry right through to the actual night Lock 91 were amazing! Both Andy and Jacob spent a lot of time before the event planning, meeting and communicating with us to make sure everything was as we wanted it. Nothing was too much trouble! It was the most amazing night and a few of our guests commented how quirky and fun the place was. Everything went exactly as planned and Jacob made sure everything was just right. I didn’t have time to get to the venue to put out my decorations on the day so that was all sorted for me and everything was so stress free. Our DJ was sorted via the venue and he was amazing too! Don’t hesitate to hold your event/wedding here, it will be the best decision you make!
amazing cocktails 🍸 nice cosy atmosphere and warm totally recommend the fallen angel long cocktail 🥰😍
I celebrated my 30th birthday at Lock 91 and could not recommend them enough, the party was perfect, the staff could not have been more helpful and lovely and I had the BEST night! I had so many compliments from guests and would 100% celebrate any occasion in the future there. Thank you so much! 😊❤️
Lock 91 hosted my 30th birthday party on Saturday evening and they did an amazing job. We rented the attic room and I was so pleased with it. It feels cosy, yet we comfortably had around 80 guests. The staff were so helpful and did everything to make the party as enjoyable as possible. There was a good range of drinks available and the location is perfect. I would definitely recommend Lock 91 as a place to host a party.
I used Lock 91 Attic room as a venue for a qualifying party for me becoming a Solicitor. The room was perfect, just the right size, with its own private bar area and toilets. The room is on its own floor and so you have your own private event which was perfect. We had around 60 people but planned for around 90 and it still would have been spacious enough. The bar staff were all lovely, and Jacob the events manager was extremely helpful. I arranged my own DJ, room decor and graze table and the staff allowed me to just get on with setting up with no hassle or restrictions. Will definitely be using Lock 91 in the future for any other events I hold, could not fault it!
