If you’re looking for a venue with real character, a bit of mystery and more than a little glamour, The Fitzgerald in Manchester’s Northern Quarter is the one. Tucked down a quiet backstreet with a discreet entrance, this hidden gem channels the charm and decadence of a 1920s speakeasy, making it the perfect place to hire for events with a difference. Whether you’re planning a milestone birthday, a launch party, a hen do or a full-on cabaret night, The Fitzgerald is a venue that promises something unforgettable.
Inside, it’s all moody lighting, velvet furnishings, vintage glassware and candlelit corners. The atmosphere is warm and seductive, with an air of exclusivity that instantly sets the tone for something special. From intimate gatherings to lively parties, the space is versatile enough to be styled to your vision- and with a killer sound system, projector, and stage space, it's also brilliantly equipped for live music, DJs or even full-scale performances.
What really sets The Fitzgerald apart is its entertainment offering. You can choose to bring your own performers or tap into the venue’s legendary in-house events. Their Decadence After Dark cabaret nights are already a Manchester favourite, known for their sultry burlesque acts, powerhouse vocals and razor-sharp comedy. Or you could opt for one of the themed bottomless brunches, featuring jazz or 1920s-style burlesque, with two hours of entertainment, drinks and delicious food.
The venue works with Quarter House to offer a food menu that’s bold, fun and satisfying - think Aberdeen Angus smashed burgers, BBQ chicken tenders, or salt and pepper tofu tacos, all served with skin-on fries. The bar is equally impressive, serving up expertly mixed cocktails, a good wine list and plenty of bubbles to keep the party flowing.
For those seeking something a little more glamorous, a little more unexpected, The Fitzgerald is a venue hire that goes beyond the ordinary. It’s sultry, stylish and full of surprises - the kind of place where anything can happen, and probably will. If you want your event to stand out in all the right ways, this is where to host it.
