The Liars Club, one of Manchester’s best late-night watering holes, has announced its closure after 12 years.
The popular underground tiki bar has been serving flaming Zombie cocktails and all sort of other rum-based drinks into the small hours for more than a decade.
It’s part of the Crazy Pedro’s group and is tucked into a basement beneath the pizza joint’s Bridge Street location.
But now after so many years of keeping Manchester’s late-night crowd dancing, The Liars Club will be closing its doors for good.
After one final hurrah on New Year’s Eve, the space will be used by Crazy Pedro’s as a private hire space.
The site may then be developed into a new concept for The Liars Group.
Posting on Instagram today, The Liars Club wrote: “And so, we come with news that The Liars Club will be closing after twelve years of Tiki, as of the 31st December
“She’s had one hell of an innings – hundreds of thousands of zombies, tonnes and tonnes of cinnamon and many a hangover inflicted.
“The team will be relocating to some of our favourite sister venues and the venue will still be available to hire for private occasions as the best party spot in the land.
“Come and join us for a zombie, or two, over the next couple of weeks and one hell of a NYE party at the end of it to send her off in style.
One person commented on their post: “Honestly heartbroken – I spent my 18th here and then 9 years later, my hen do (obviously with visits in between) but some of the biggest moments of my life were celebrated here! Favourite place in Manchester and I can’t believe I won’t be able to get back to town in time to visit again before you close. Have a great New Year’s Eve. You guys are the best.”
Another said: “Gutted, always made time for a drink here when in the city. It’s been a fine innings.”
Someone else wrote: “Oh my god this day just gets WORSE.”
Nostalgic ready-to-drink Breezer makes UK return after a decade
Daisy Jackson
An iconic ready-to-drink favourite has launched back into the UK – oh yes, Breezer is back.
First launched in the 1990s, Breezers – then pitched as an ‘alcopop’ – were a staple on dancefloors and at barbecues right across the UK.
And now Bacardi has decided to bring these delicious, fruity, easy-drinking bottles back to British shores.
There are three new flavours to try as Breezers return to your fridges – Zesty Orange, Zingy Lime, and Crisp Watermelon.
And Breezer launched back into Manchester last night with a suitably memorable party, turning a spot in the Northern Quarter into a corner shop.
The ‘local Cornerbop’ was stacked with your usual essentials, plus shelf after shelf of these colourful glass ready-to-drink bottles.

The Breezer relaunch party saw Tarsza and Rennie Peters spinning nostalgic anthems with a modern twist at a pop-up party in a corner shop.
Steve Young, business unit director for Bacardi in the UK & Ireland, said: “We know there is a lot of love for Breezer in the UK, and we are confident a new generation of consumers will fall in love with the new Breezer.
“RTDs are booming, however, the Flavoured Alcoholic Beverages category could do with a bit more excitement. By bringing back Breezer we’re definitely putting the fruity taste into FAB.”
The iconic ready-to-drink classic is back – and better than ever.
Drinks prices for Manchester Oasis gigs announced – and you’ll be pleasantly surprised
Daisy Jackson
The prices of drinks at Heaton Park for the five huge Manchester Oasis shows have been released in advance.
With the Gallagher brothers reuniting on stage in their hometown for the first time this weekend (and then again next week), it’s a huge moment for our city.
Those lucky enough to snag tickets have already forked out a small fortune to witness this moment in history (still scarred from the dynamic pricing debacle).
And most of us were probably bracing to spend another small fortune on beers at the Oasis Manchester gigs.
But you might be pleasantly surprised at the drinks prices up at Heaton Park for Oasis Live ’25.
It’s now been confirmed that pints of lager and cider will be just £6.50.
Before you turn your nose up, remember that pints at our two arenas – the AO Arena and Co-op Live are now sitting around the £9 mark.
Prices for other drinks, like wine and spirits, we’ll have to wait until Friday to see.
Heaton Park will also be the home of the ‘largest beer garden’ and the longest bars in the city for the Oasis reunion.
With a major heatwave predicted for the first shows, fans are being encouraged to stay hydrated (on WATER, not beer, please).
Ticket-holders will be allowed to bring a sealed bottle of water up to 500ml in with you, but it must be collapsible plastic.
Solid plastic and metal containers will be rejected on safety grounds.
There’s a free water point on site where you can fill up your bottles again.
Oasis will perform at Heaton Park in Manchester on 11, 12, 16, 19 and 20 July.
