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 5th March From 8pm to 11pm our evening is always focussed around meeting up as a group in Iconic at 29 Richmond Street M1 3NB where we are welcomed by the owner Terry and his lovely colleagues Louis and Ste. We are blessed with a 10% off drinks deal here (thank you Terry) so if you are a regular visitor ask at the bar for our discount card. Generally there will be around 20 Ladies out socialising on the evening but not all of them are necessarily in Iconic bar at the same time as people drift in and out. The ladies present will vary from first time out socially to full time experienced and everything in between including locals and visitors from around the country. You will always find someone that you can relate to and compare your personal journey with as everyone is friendly and approachable. We do not have cliques or anyone judging anyone else, these are all really cool, down to earth, friendly and happy ladies. If you are alone or new, ask for me and I will introduce you informally 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. During the day time I will be wandering around Manchester centre and surrounds, if anyone wants to join me please just ask. I will be eating between 5pm to 8pm in a bar type place either in Northern Quarter, Deansgate or St Peters Square area, again if you want to join me please ask. I chase down deals where ever I go so it will usually have a discount offer. I get asked if the non-LGB places I go to "trans friendly"..... well, I am trans and I am friendly so yes, they all are. I am happy to come and meet you if you need that but please be on time or I will wander off again. When Iconic closes at 11pm I will wander away from the village, you can join me if you wish or you can stay in the village with those who prefer it there. Popular locations to go in the village are; The Molly House (they might have crying and wailing trad-folk singers), The Goose (you will have to fit around their Wednesday quiz night), New York New York, Eva, Via, Oscar's, The Brewers, BarPop, The Church. 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 with “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. Men you are welcome to join us but please come as a guest of one of the Ladies attending. This is so that you have someone to accompany you and introduce you to everyone. We ask all men to be polite and respectful to the ladies because we are a social group, not a knocking shop. Any questions not answered in the above just ask me. Do come and join us while you can still walk, fun and party as none of us are getting any younger right? |
