Description:
The Manchester ladies social can be found here from 8pm each Wednesday.Iconic is a cosy bar tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Canal Street on the adjacent Richmond Street.
It used to be a hair salon that is now known as a friendly bar with an impressively well-stocked spirits collection, particularly when it comes to gin as they have up to 150 in stock at times). All of their drinks are reaosnably priced.
The staff team and owner are very supportive of our trans community, are chilled and relaxed and everyone is friendly and chatty. You will be very welcome here and not judged in any way.
The Decor is warm and cosy, the music is gentle background music with no DJ's or drag acts most nights though there is ‘Monday night madness’ SpeedQuizzing and Thursday night bingo. On most nights it is a good place to come and sit, relax with friends and have a chat together.
It is one of the nicer bars in the area but also one of the lesser known bars too so be different and give it a try.

Wednesday 18th June Our Manchester Wednesday social evening is centred on meeting between 8pm to 11pm in Iconic Bar at 29 Richmond Street M1 3NB where we get 10% off their drinks just for being us :-) There are usually around 20ish that will be out during the evening, not all are always in Iconic at the same time as people drift in and out through the evening. The ladies out will vary from first time out socially to full time experienced and everything in between and they will be both locals and visitors from around the country. Everyone is always friendly and approachable but if you are alone or new, ask for me when you get here and I will introduce you to everyone. If you come and sit on the edge of the group without asking for me I will assume you want privacy so I won't interrupt you. If you need additional support such as being met at your hotel I am always happy to come and do that 'cos I love wandering around Manchester :-) During the daytime I will be out around Manchester centre and/or local towns shopping and cafe-ing, if you want to join me please just ask but please be on time as I am not good at hanging aorund waiting :-) Some of us eat out before Iconic between 5:45pm to 8pm and this week I will post where we will be eating by the Sunday evening prior to the Wednesday. If you want to join us you are very welcome. I get asked if the non-LGB places I go to are "trans friendly"..... in my experience if we behave and dress sensibly and stay alert we are at no greater risk than cisgender women who in their daily lives have to be aware of VAWG (violence against women and girls) but if you don't want to leave the village you will usually find some of our ladies out in either Velvet or Via before 8pm. When Iconic closes at 11pm I leave the village again, you are welcome to join me if you wish, if you prefer to stay in the village then popular locations to go to at that time are; The Goose, New York New York, Eva, Via, Oscar's, The Brewers, BarPop .... there is also Centre Stage but I am am barred from there so I obviously will not give it any recommendation, please make your own choice about it. If you don’t know Manchester check TV Chix venues for insights as I keep the Manchester clubs, bars, restaurants, hotel and parking information up to date, just search TV Chix venues using “Manchester”. Ask me if you want deeper insights or want to know about anywhere not listed as I will either know it or I can check it out for you. You can also join our Manchester & North West Facebook Networking group "The Buzz". It is a private and very secure group so you will need to ask me for an invitation to it. Men are welcome to join us on our Wednesdays but must come as a guest of one of the Ladies attending so you have someone to introduce you to everyone. I ask all men to be polite and respectful to all the ladies because we are a social group, not a knocking shop. Any questions not answered in the above, just ask me. Finally, why not find reasons to come out rather than reasons not to come out because you can only have memories of the things that you do. |

A really nice friendly social gathering, Alison always looks out for anyone who is new and introduces them to the regular girls. The crowd will move from Iconic Bar and onto centre stage, but there us freedom to go to other bars like Via Bar Pop.
