Friday feels far away, but that didn’t stop us from checking out our weekday wish of Dive NQ venue hire.

As much as we love looking into the grand hotels and fine restaurants of this world, sometimes it’s vital to let your hair down. When considering venue hire for parties, receptions, socials and the like, there are a few things we consider. Firstly, food and drink are hugely important. So is finding the right space. And then there are all the details like location, and finding a venue willing to go the extra mile for you. And not to sound smug, but it looks like we may have found just the spot in Manchester with Dive NQ venue hire.

Dive NQ is found in the iconic bohemian neighbourhood of the Northern Quarter – the ‘NQ’ is a subtle hint. So far, so good: it benefits by being accessible from most areas of the city. Checking out the whole venue took some time – the place is huge! This is one of the things that makes Dive NQ venue hire flexible and accessible. You can choose which spaces suit you best to use some if not all of them. It’s divided into the snug, the hangout area, centre stage and the booths. They all have different strengths – for example, the centre stage has a bar and dance floor, making it great for music and quizzes. Consider opting for the booths if you’re looking to chill out with some drinks or food.

Food and Drinks

Speaking of which… We loved the whimsical menu, with dishes named after movies and 90s tunes. ‘Return of the Mac’ and ‘Jenny from the Block’ are favourites, with their modern takes on classic American comfort food. Red pepper and caramelised onion macaroni and cheese? Oh, go on then. Or, if you’re made of stronger stuff, then there’s the ‘House always wins’ challenge. It’s a monster triple cheeseburger with all kinds of tantalising sides. And it’s free – if you can eat it within 30 minutes. Otherwise, it’s a trip to the wall of shame.

On top of that, the drinks are pretty delightful. As well as a strong selection of beers, wines, and spirits (with bottles available for the ballers among us), there are two cocktail menus. You’ll find all your favourites on the first, with Mojitos and Daiquiris for days. But then, there are the ‘Dive NQ’ specials, with over ten choices. The ‘Cuban Heart’ with banana butterscotch and the ‘Apple Strudel’ with cinnamon rum look very tempting to us.

Venue hire at Dive NQ would be a canny choice for many occasions. Having a knees-up for your friend’s engagement? Got to organise your work party and want to make sure everyone’s happy? Or even for corporate events and presentations that could do with a pinch of fun, its somewhere we would happily recommend. Manchester is a vibrant, stylish city and venues like Dive NQ embody this.
