Lions Den Manchester Concerts 2025

We came to see Declan Welsh so we didn't have any food, just a pint before the gig. Staff were very friendly and there was a good atmosphere. Gig venue upstairs was brilliant for small, intimate occasions. I think the capacity is only 100, which I love more than stadia or arena gigs.

Lions den is an intimate little venue tucked away in the great northern warehouse complex above Deansgate. Attended for a gig and found the staff pleasant enough and the venue very welcoming. Drinks prices felt excessive, a round of 1 pint & a half for the driver, and 2 jack & cokes came in just over £30. A can of diet coke on its own, £2. Prefer going to a venue where I don't feel gouged but would return for the right act. Stars awarded for atmosphere and staff, decent range of drinks. Loses stars for the prices.

Some mates of mine travelled quite a way for a gig at this place only to discover the pub had decided to cancel it about an hour before opening time (via a hand-written note in the window). No communication with the organisers or bands, no explanation offered. We're not talking about a local gig here either, bands from Finland and London. It seems that this is not the first time this has happened either. Gig promoters and live music fans beware.

Popped in for a gig and had an amazing time ! Will definitely be back 😊

Top notch personal, good drinks and the music was good too Got thrown out because I took pictures of my friend and he talked to a girl, might be that the owners confidence is at a low
