Manchester, England
Historic Canal Street showbar with drag cabaret, karaoke and DJs
The New Union sits on the corner of Princess Street and Canal Street and has been a pub since around 1860. The venue says it was one of the first openly gay venues in the city, and it still runs as a showbar today, with drag cabaret, karaoke, DJs and themed nights. Its own pitch is fun, friendly and entertaining, and that's about right: this is a sing-along, party-night kind of bar. The building also has hotel rooms upstairs, which makes it a handy base if you want to sleep a staircase away from the Village.
