Walkabout Inn
Our Walkabout Inn Review
Cheesy tunes, and cheap hotel rooms ahoy. With no obvious link between the fact that you can have a place to stay for just over ?40, and the nightclub here is filled with 30-40yr old women who are 'up for it', I'll continue this review.
Firstly, Walkabout ain't that great. The tunes are 'party music' and the DJ is one of those annoying ones who talks over the best part of each song. The dancefloor is filled with tipsy women (good) and drunk scallies (bad), but this place tends to be trouble free.
The bar prices are reasonable, in a similar fashion to getting life imprisonment instead of the electric chair, and here comes the crunch: You have to pay to get in. It's not that much, just a couple of quid, but that thing gets my goat. There are hundreds of bars all over Manchester that are better, and absolutely free. And I'll be going to them next time, instead of Walkabout.

I think this review needs updating! 30-40 year olds my ass, there were some f**king stunners in the nightclub on saturday (23/02/08) the music was great. RnB in the club. i didnt spend much time on the other 2 floors but when i did they had a pretty good band on. overall brilliant atmosphere! definatly be going there again.

This bar is a fun filled place later on after a few jars. A great mix of people and good live music make the bar have a cracking atmosphere.

Great for a boogie to some major cheese however it gets packed on a Friday and Saturday so a Thursday night is far better to visit.

As a "thirty something" I found this bar much more to my liking than half the poser bars in Manchester, friendly atmosphere, cheesy tunes and decent drinks prices, all in all a great nite out for the less discerning p*ss head

if you wanna have a laugh then walkabout is definately a place to go. im in there every week and the atmosphere upstairs on the top floors great, even if the dj does shout 'lets hear it for the noisy weekend piss heads ' every five minutes! Although, it can get very hot and sweaty on the dancefloor. Air conditioning?! Avoid the majority of scallys and go on a sat nite! bouncers are great 2!

If you like cheesy tunes, gansta wish they were lads, cr*p dj's, over priced drinks + girls that are taken from the set of Street Crime Uk, then you should love this place. This place should be uplifted, placecd onto a truck and taken to Blackpool where it would fit in nicely. If you want a proper clubbing experience get yerself down to Sankeys!

Sup people, walkabout rulez. It's mucking sweet in there. I'm more of an RnB man, and didn't wanna try it out, but was forced to go. It's shiznich is the bomb. Dr Moboblio is the man who says that the place of all places is Walkabout man! WANNA BE STARTING SOMETHING?! Nobody darez say that walkabout iz shizzer cos I'll knock their fubucking blocks off and verese their heads.
