Me and a group of friends had the BEST time at The Cockatoo Club – the drags were so talented and incredible entertainers. Highly recommend the bottomless brunch – we’ll be back!

The Cockatoo Club is my go-to in Manchester. I am here so often the bar team know my drink before I even order which is dangerous but fabulous. Every visit comes with amazing drag queens, a chilled show vibe and cocktails that go down far too easily.

One of my favourite memories was celebrating my birthday here. The queens were on top form, the atmosphere was buzzing and it somehow managed to be both lively and laid back at the same time.

If you want a relaxed evening with brilliant entertainment, comfy seating and drinks that make you stay just for one more this is the place.
