Visited the New Union bar. There was a drag act on stage who was a great singer. He was replaced by music from the DJ. The overall atmosphere is good if a little lacking when considering how good this once was.

The iconic New Union, the first bar you see when entering the vilage from the Oxford Road Atrain station end of town. Close to all the other bars and actually on Canal Street itself, this bar holds memories when Canal Street was booming and growing and everything was exciting. Unfortunately The New Union hasn't managed to keep up with the rest of the street either with effort or investment. It's a shadow of its former self when it was packed every weekend and hosted by the Famous Roxy Heart. The service by the staff was quick and friendly, as always, and drinks no more expensive than anywhere else. But the area we sat in wasn't very appealing, surrounded by flies on the wall near the games machines that sat unused. The customers were of an older base and it felt more like a locals hang out than the vibrant exciting place it once was. It needs reinventing and investment, but who can really afford that these days. I've not seen it busy here for years, unfortunately. I used to love it here.

After 10 years of saying i'll go back to Manchester. I finally did. The New Union Hotel was a brilliant place to stay. Nice functional room with good facilities. I absolutely would stay here again. Thank you to the staff for such a wonderful time. I loved it.

Brilliant location in the heart of Manchester, chose it due to proximity to O2 Ritz, but feels like everything else is also on the doorstep. A couple minutes walk from Oxford Road and Manchester Piccadilly railway stations.

The girl on the front door was rude on the 26th was rude and disrespectful as soon as I walked through the door making a comment about my gender. She has black hair and is quite young and was really discriminating. I won’t be coming back until this is dealt with.

I seem to always pop into here for a drink ever since I was visiting the village, which is over thirty years now! This place has not really changed much over the years. With trendy bars throwing themselves up all around the place, you can be sure that there is one constant. There is still the cosy chairs to have relaxed conversation. Pool tables and a friendly atmosphere. There is also the disco at the back, which opens up in the evening for all those who love the boogie. I like the touch of the safe sex packs on the bar as well ( not that I'll ever get that lucky). This and the Oscars bar are my favourites in the village.
