7-9 New Wakefield Street, Manchester, M1 5NP United Kingdom Tel: +44 (0)161 236 0944 Contact: Bill Parry To Sum It Up!: Price: Change in my pocket Ambience: More pub than club Eye candy: Fit and fabulous The Font Bar on New Wakefield Street is a decent little multi-tasking bar just off of Oxford Road. Situated over two floors this bar seems to command an air of class whilst still simultaneously managing to feel down to earth. There is a mixture of furninshings, between modern chromes upstairs and nice, subdued lighting effects and big tables surrounded by more comfortable sofa's lurk in the corner's of the basement level. A good pull point for this bar/ club is the cheap cocktail menu, which consists of almost any cocktail you can think of for a mere £2.50. During the early evening the bar has a decent selection of alternative music playing throughout and later on it adapts itself into a club night, with the music changing acordingly to whichever night the club is championing, ranging from hip hop to indie. The nights put on here never seem overdone and sometimes the transition from bar to club over the hours is almost imperceptible, except for the clientele rapidly losing their inhibitions and zoning in on the downstairs dancefloor. This hardly seems the place for a rawkus night out, but for a few drinks, good music, whatever you're into, with the opportunity for dancing it up downstairs creates a very relaxed, 'come as you are' atmosphere. A chilled out venue for chilled out people."
