We hear Manchester, we hear Morrissey, and we don't necessarily jump to the conclusion that the city is an inspiration for love, romance and joyful times....*note* Heaven knows I'm Miserable Now:

In my life

Why do I give valuable time

To people who don't care if I live or die?

Two lovers entwined pass me by

And heaven knows I'm miserable now

In my life

Why do I smile

At people who I'd much rather kick in the eye?

But don't worry, Morrissey also wrote these words...

Yes, we may be hidden by rags

But we've something they'll never have

For the good life is out there somewhere

So stay on my arm, you little charmer

So really, he is an eternal optimist. And so Manchester must be a really great place to date, obviously.

But, where to go, where to go?!

Revolucion De Cuba

T his stunning 2 floor bar and cantina, just off of Manchester’s Deansgate, serves Latin food and delicious cocktails, perfect for that first date! Revolucion de Cuba also boasts an unrivalled selection of premium rums from all over the globe – so if you like your rum then this is definitely the place for you! But be careful…we would not recommend getting blind rum drunk on a date, perhaps order some food too…





If you’re planning an evening date, then check out what live music is on in the Havana Club Rooms - get up close and personal, salsa style!













































The People's History Museum

T he People’s History Museum is a national centre for the collection, conservation, interpretation and study of material relating to the history of working people in Britain. Sure, it doesn’t sound like a romantic venue, but you’ll undoubtedly come away feeling enlightened with lots to talk about.
