Wewantwraiths : Manchester Headline

The Deaf Institute is an independent fun loving bar and venue, spread across 3 floors, with 3 bars, a kitchen and a roof terrace. Housed in a historic Manchester building originally built in 1878 as The Deaf Institute, the building was derelict when they first got their hands on it and they have refurbished it back to something they hope approaches its original glory. Located just off the bustling Oxford Road, the venue is based in the heart of the Manchester Metropolitan University Campus. The music hall on the first floor hosts live gigs, comedy and club nights in a ballroom under a massive mirror ball, with velvet curtains, a domed ceiling, tiered seating and parrots on the wall. The basement bar is a dandyish den perfect for parties or club nights.
