The
Deaf
Institute
is
undoubtedly
one
of
Manchester’s greatest gig
venues. It can also lay claim to
being one of the city’s hippest,
hottest bars. Housed in a Grade
II listed building that’s as old as
the hills – or as old as 1878, at
any rate – the Deaf Institute is
just a stone’s throw from Oxford
Road, situated on the campus
of Manchester Metropolitan
University. Run by the same folk
behind Trof Northern Quarter,
the venue is known for many
things: shabby-chic decor; a
vast selection of draught ales,
craft beers and cocktails and a
wonderful dome-shaped music
hall. The latter space benefits
from excellent acoustics and
has played host to the UK’s
best and brightest since the
venue reopened in 2008.
If it’s food you’re after, just
descend the staircase and
choose from a concise menu
offering top-notch gastropub
grub. The Deaf Institute also
hosts regular club nights, with
various drinks promotions and
a resident DJ spinning dance
floor anthems. Indeed, there’s
something popping off most
nights, whether it’s an open mic
session or a team quiz. If good
food, booze and live music
sound up your street, keep
your ear to the ground and
proceed immediately to The
Deaf Institute.
