Nexus Night Cafe

AS a spot for simple coffee and cake and 4 am Scrabble, the Nexus Night Café is an immensely gratifying contrast and post-club breather from Manchester’s late-night revelling.

Mellow music, tranquil candlelight, even a cuddlesome bear by one settee – very little can be done to make the atmosphere more welcoming for the partied-out, the naturally nocturnal, and whoever else is awake from 1 to 5 am on a Sunday morning.

A free taxi call service is provided so one can get home safely, as well as board games to pass the time.

Imbued with profundity

What’s more, Nexus functions as a spacious art gallery as well, and hosts several different art exhibitions a year. At night and also during its daytime ‘art café’, customers can behold some of the most exciting art movements occurring in the North West.

Currently, the ‘Re Use: Objects of Virtue’ exhibition shows how discarded and vintage objects can be recycled and reconfigured in such a way, even something as mundane as a collection of keys appears imbued with profundity.

Arty, quirky, snug and embracive – a perfectly inclusive choice for Manchester’s most inclusive arts festival.
