G-A-Y מנצ'סטר

My second time trying in 6months , not a place to go if your not a local

Doorman asked me if I am regular, I said I am a tourist and he said this place is for a regular crowd only.

I've been in GAY a few times but this time they didn't let me or my bf in because I didn't match what a gay man should look like. Don't go to this place they don't support gay people.

Doormen never let us in ( we're both over 40 ) it's become a joke with us, luckily there are plenty other places in the Village that will happily take our money.

Couldn't get passed the front door Was was dressed smart and only had a couple of drinks Door staff said I had to know someone inside to get in

Guys, put some hand dryers on your wc pleeeaasssee! Not only I believe is more ecological and is it was really annoying having your member of staff asking me (after handing me paper to dry my hands) why I don't leave any coins. Do I really have to be in this situation where I have to explain that I normally don't have money with me as I pay pretty much everything by card/ Apple Pay?? Really?

Everytime I want to go there to have some fun and enjoy night out, doormen saying, sorry regulars only. Very disappointed!!!

This place needs a reality check. Couldn't get past the doormen, I was sober and dressed smart. They said it was members only, the next two got in without showing a members card???? I asked was it because I didn't look gay? My friend turned up which knew one of the bouncers and I was ushered straight in. I kept an open mind but had to leave, the smell of the carpets and rude bar staff are enough to never go back again.

I was in two minds whether to bother or not.I used to go to G.A.Y years ago when I lived in London. I have to say for me it fulfilled my expectations and in some ways surpassed them. I'd heard it wasn't that friendly there but actually I thought it was great. Lots of fun, good music, mixed crowd girls, guys, young, not so young all just getting on with having a good time. Nice integrated bar/club definitely go again even though it is over 60 miles away. Maybe not for every gay man, maybe not for every weekend. Worth the effort.
