About Boom Battle Bar Manchester Printworks
Boom Battle Bar in the Printworks is, well, exactly what it sounds like. It's a bar. With games. The sheer volume of Google reviews (over 6000 and a near-perfect rating) suggests they're doing something right. Located in the Northern Quarter, it's easily accessible, and the late hours on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday make it a solid choice for a night out. The venue offers a casual and trendy atmosphere. You can expect bar games, live music, and even karaoke. They've got a wide selection of alcohol, from beer and cocktails to hard liquor and wine, plus food available at the bar. Given its features, it's no surprise that it attracts groups and tourists. It also bills itself as LGBTQ+ friendly. It's a large venue; the photos show a pretty expansive space. Though the Printworks itself isn't everyone's cup of tea, Boom Battle Bar seems to have carved out its own niche. It's a loud and busy place, so intimate conversation might be a challenge.
