Indigo, 455 Wilmslow Rd, Manchester

Great basement club with nice bottled beers and music jams or mixes that encourage me to dance. Despite its small size it gets busy but not overcrowded and I've never had to wait for long at the bar. If you want to chat it gets too loud but there's a good atmosphere, which made me wonder why they don't keep it open an hour longer!

A very small and sweaty bar/club in the suburbs. It's great for dancing among down-to-earth people without the hassle of going to town. There's an uber-cool jazz jam night midweek (which starts way too late for a school night), as well as an Afro-sonido residency with funky Brazilian and African sounds at the weekend. There was also a very friendly bouncer encouraging us in.
