I went to 5th avenue all the time when i was a student and continue to go a couple of times a month now i've graduated. They are strict on student ID, but only if it is a large group of just males or if it is really busy.<br /> <br /> If you are not a student but still want to go, you are best off getting there early, before 11, and you should be fine. There is an area upstairs that is enclosed so the music isn't too loud so you can grab a table and chat, as if you were in a bar, before heading downstairs for a bit of indie jive! It is worth getting there early, because if you are into your Manchester and indie music, this is bar far the best place to go in town.<br />

Cheap drinks indeed, but the DJ setlist each week is identical - I swear that someone just sets an iPod going each week, you know which song follows the next, so predictable.<br />

I have been to 5th Avenue a few times with my husband and friends and I have always had a good night.<br />

Very strict when it comes to not letting in students - which is a bit unfair. But once inside, they have good Indie music, and its always a great atmosphere. Plus cheap drinks, you dont need anything more!<br />
