About The Church

The Church is an independent, LGBTQ+ owned gay bar on Chorlton Street, right where it meets Canal Street. It's the sister venue to Bar Pop and is run by the same owners, John Hamilton and his husband Antonio. It shares Bar Pop's approach: music-led nights, weeknight drink deals and special events, plus regular charity nights with groups like the Village Angels and George House Trust. With Bar Pop a short walk away, the two are easy to combine in one night.
