    Printworks and Filmworks are a re-vamped printing factory with a "street" full of eateries and a big cinema complex. A good place to be night or day although its done out so dark inside it always looks like evening time!

    There are 36 cafés and bars, 16 restaurants of various ethnic cuisines, a health complex, and Manchester's first IMAX cinema, alongside 20 screens at the development known as "the Filmworks".

    Housed in the former newspaper printing works, this is a sort of entertainment centre comprising bars, restaurants, an Imax cinema, a multiplex cinema, Hard Rock Cafe and popular night-spot Tiger-Tiger.

    We went here for New Year's Eve and it was a perfect spot to ring in the new year. The atmosphere here is very cozy and relaxing and we had a fun time here on NY eve.. This pub is in a great location too, downtown Manchester. It is surrounded by many other interesting looking places as well.

    Casual, although we were dressed nicer because it was the new year.

  • The one thing I really enjoy about the Printworks (aside from the Madhouse clothes shop) is the 20-screen mega cinema with its cozy seats, stadium seating, top-notch sound and a slate of two dozen movies running from 11am to 11pm. They've also got one of the biggest IMAX screens in Britain with the usual souped-up documentaries and 3-D extravaganzas.

    I haven't splashed out to see a film in The Gallery, which are special balconies in several of the cinemas where you can recline in a leather sofa, enjoy some nibbles and order a drink from the bar. A snip for only 15 pounds!

    This is not one particular bar but many under one roof. We spent a Friday evening here in 3 separate bars. It was a lot of fun and we ended up at our last bar dancing away to some great tunes.

    Well, don't be a slob, I was dressed slightly funky just because that's how I prefer to dress when going out. The guys were fairly casual though, girls tend to dress up more anyway.
    The pic is me and the guys at our 3rd bar of the evening. Haven't a clue what the name of the place was, I just followed!

  • The Printworks.
    It has a few bars - Old Orleans, Lloyds bar, Waxy O'Conners and Henry J Beans.
    Good drinks, nice atmospheres, great staff and it's all in the same spot.
    Makes for a good night out.

    I wouldn't reccomend wearing trainers and sports clothing on a night.
