Chris Brown parties at Menagerie bar after AO Arena gig

American music star Chris Brown is entertaining thousands of fans in Manchester this week at his three huge AO Arena gigs. And after the opening night show on Thursday, he decided to continue the party at one of the city's swankiest celeb haunts.

Chris headed to Menagerie bar on New Bailey, the all-pink bar that comes complete with an entertainment "runway" at the heart of the restaurant. The celebrity-favourite venue is used to welcoming in A-list guests, having previously hosted after-parties for the likes of Justin Timberlake, Kevin Hart and Little MIx.

R'n'B star Brown has landed in Manchester on his European Under The Influence tour. The shows continue on Sunday and Monday night at the AO Arena.

After Thursday night's show, Grammy award-winning Chris headed to the private dining room at Menagerie on New Bailey for his after-party. But he was soon seen dancing and joking with pals on the balcony as amazed revellers looked on.

And Menagerie's in-house dance crew even put on a special performance to a medley of Chris's songs as he watched on from above. He was pictured with the female dancers afterwards.

Bottles of pricey 1942 tequila and Ciroc vodka were seen being taken into the private dining room for Chris and his crew. The Beautiful People and Forever star was seen enjoying the bar vibe before heading off again with his entourage after midnight.

Menagerie is also hosting Chris Brown pre-parties for revellers heading along to his gigs on Sunday and Monday, as well as another planned after-party for Chris after Sunday's AO Arena gig.

A picture in the private dining room at Menagerie on Thursday shows Chris in a casual ensemble with a logo t-shirt and orange cap as the Manchester dancers beam around him. One of the dancers who met Chris after their performance on the catwalk posted her excitement at meeting the CBreezy star.

She wrote on Instagram in entirely caps lock: "I CAN. NOT. BELIEVE. MY. EYES.

"WE JUST DID THAT. WE JUST DANCED FOR CHRIS BROWN".
