One of Manchester newest and most-popular late night hotspots is giving chicken wing lovers something to look forward to this week.
The Blues Kitchen – which opened its Manchester branch back in May 2021 on Quay Street in the heart of the city centre – is well-known and loved for its Southern-inspired menu of barbecue classics and proper comfort food, that features everything from stacked-up burgers, creamy mac n cheese, smoky ribs, and so much more.
But it’s the venue’s wide array of chicken wings, which are quite frankly “legendary”, that are known to really draw in the crowds.
Which is why, this Friday 14 January from 6pm, The Blues Kitchen will be hosting the “ultimate wings frenzy”, and will be giving chicken wing fans the chance to tuck into the delicacy for completely free of charge.
The catch?

For two whole hours, from 6pm – 8pm, you can head on down to The Blues Kitchen to devour its signature “glorious, tangy, spicy” Buffalo Wings, which are all served with a blue cheese dip.

These will usually set you back £7.95 for a small portion, or £11.50 for a large.
On top of that, from 5pm-7pm, you can also enjoy some signature cocktails for just £5 too, which includes the popular ‘Tommy’s Margarita’, made with Tequila Reposado, lime and agave – which normally costs £9.50.

And that’s not all either, as from 8pm onwards, you can soak up a live soundtrack of timeless blues and soul music from The Blues Kitchen’s world-famous resident musicians and DJs in the Concert Hall, all while you tuck into your discounted wings and cocktails.
Fancy it then?
You can either sign up ahead of Friday via the Blues Kitchen website here, or just simply walk in and feast until your heart’s content.

A huge new Irish bar has opened in Manchester city centre (yes, another one)
Daisy Jackson
There’s another new Irish pub in Manchester city centre, this time on one of our busiest nightlife strips, Peter Street.
Katie O’Brien’s has officially thrown open the doors to its enormous two-storey venue, taking over and transforming the former Peaky Blinders bar.
Inside, there are three bars pouring both Guinness AND Murphys, a huge elevated stage on its own mezzanine level, which will host live musicians seven nights a week, and walls packed with decor transporting you to the Emerald Isle.
The makeover they’ve given this massive unit really is quite something, creating all sorts of cosy corners and snug areas where you can nurse a pint of stout.
Faux fireplaces, leather booth seating, and low ceilings all set the tone for a relaxed pint in the snugs.
Or if you want something a little livelier, head to the heart of the bar, where you can dance the night away to the live entertainment above your head.
Manchester’s Katie O’Brien’s is set to be their largest Irish bar yet, with existing locations all over the UK, including in Leeds and Sheffield.
Their rapid expansion has now brought them to the heart of Manchester, where they’ll be neighbouring bustling nightlife spots like Albert’s Schloss, Manahatta, and Impossible.

The venue has taken over what was once the Peaky Blinders bar, which shut down back in March.
The previous occupier had themed its venue and menu around the hit gangster show, with cocktails named after characters.
They wrote at the time: “It is with an extremely heavy heart that we unfortunately have to announce the closure of Peaky Blinders Manchester with immediate effect. On behalf of our entire team, we are truly thankful to every guest who has stepped through our doors since opening in 2018.
“We are devastated it has had to end this way, but grateful for the journey. Thank you so much for your continued support over the years. It’s been a blast, Manchester!”
Katie O’Brien’s is open now on Peter Street in Manchester.
One of Manchester’s most popular brunch spots is opening its second location

A brunch spot with queues down the street, and an edible Labubu French toast on the menu, is opening a second location this summer.
Bruncho has revealed plans to expand from its home on Deansgate and take on the Northern Quarter.
The all-day brunch cafe is set to move into the huge unit left empty by the shock closure of Feel Good Club.
Bruncho is known for its brunch dishes that have a real knack for going viral on social media, including New York-style breakfast rolls in croissant bread; fresh coconut water and matcha served in the coconut; and its absolutely stacked French toasts.
It’s consistently packed out at its original location on Deansgate, and now it’s taking over a 4,378 sq ft unit in the Northern Quarter too, set to open this June.
Omer Umut Mutlu, owner of Bruncho, said: “Manchester has shown Bruncho so much love, and expanding into the Northern Quarter feels like the natural next step for us.
“Hilton House gives us the space to elevate what we do – more covers, more events, and a new home for the kind of food and atmosphere people will make the journey for.

“We’re excited to bring something fresh to the neighbourhood, with the opening scheduled for June 2026.”
Paul Shakeshaft, Head of Property Management at CERT, commented: “We’ve found the ideal tenant to join the Hilton House community. Bruncho provides a new focal point for the building and for the community.
“They’re a fantastic operator with big plans that bring the right fit and the right atmosphere to the building and neighbourhood.
“Signing Bruncho brings Hilton House back to full occupation, including a full refit in just seven months, underpinning our neighbourhood vision for our commercial properties, and their continued success and appeal far beyond their completion.”
Bruncho will open their second Manchester cafe in the Northern Quarter this June.
