Party Time: Odd Bar is 10

This week, one of the Northern Quarter’s most famous bars celebrates its longevity with a birthday party to match. As well as looking back through misty eyes at the past decade of leading the way for bars in an area of town renowned for innovation and creativity, Odd will be unveiling their latest successful facelift while wearing a double-figures birthday badge with pride. You can expect more good times in their comfortable climes, handed the accolade of ‘Best Bar’ not long ago by Manchester Food and Drink Festival. Featuring the ever-impressive backbar of cocktails, spirits and ales, Thursday’s open invitation party looks set to continue into the next decade in style, with live music, DJs and plenty more on the cards.
