Rain Bar, Function Bar

JW Lees opened the now multi award winning Rain Bar in August 1999. It wasn’t always a bar though. It started life as a Victorian canal side warehouse. It then became an umbrella factory and until its development was a dry cleaning business.

Manchester is famous for many things, cotton, the ship canal, manufacturing, the Guardian newspaper, United, City, Coronation Street and Oasis. Throughout history one thing has remained constant about reports on Manchester, the weather. Hence the name Rain Bar.

Rain Bar’s stylish and contemporary function bar is the perfect venue for private parties and is multi-functional for all types of celebrations. With an outside terrace/balcony the function room can be used for BBQ’s in the summer and all year round for wedding and civil partnership celebrations. We can cater for any type of party and can provide a range of buffet and food packages to suit your needs.
