The Ark Manchester is one of the most popular and well recognised bars of Deansgate Locks.

Our venue constantly delivers a great atmosphere with great music and an air of sophistication and style. Every night at Ark offers you a different experience, from a relaxed candlelit evening overlooking the canal to an upbeat night out with top DJ’s, stilt walkers and fire breathers!

Here on the locks we serve food until 9pm, so why not try one of the dishes off our new menu or speak to our sales coordinator about our Christmas buffets?

Our super stylish restaurant is one of the most sought after in the city as we strive to deliver a high standard and great value for money. If food is not top of your agenda, you could always treat yourself to one of our fantastic cocktails - we promise you won't be disappointed.

Why not party in style and get the star treatment in our exclusive VIP area or try something different like a cocktail masterclass? Bringing glamour and sophistication to your night, with your own personal waitress; contact us via the ‘Book an Event’ link. Alternatively, we take pride in going the extra mile for those special occasions. Allow us to organise your party and tailor it to your requirements. Whether it's entertainment, music or Cocktail Masterclasses, you need look no further.
