Night & Day Cafe "Taste of the Manchester Music Scene"

A fixture of the live music scene in central Manchester for several years, Night and Day manages to juggle the concept of relaxed, jazzy café bar with full blown, small to medium-sized music venue surprisingly successfully. The feel is bohemian, with wooden benches, plenty of dark corners and a smoky ambiance adding to the effect. Evenings see a wide by Man Alive! variety of different musical styles with nights ranging from experimental events to local band showcases, from NME endorsed indie and rock bands to dance acts. The bar only serves bottled and canned beers or soft drinks during the evenings but there is a basic, good quality food menu including full breakfasts, burgers and sandwiches plus filter coffee in the noon.
