Manchester's brand new adult-only ball pit bar has opened in the Printworks and I headed down there to check it out for myself to see if it would live up to its hype. Impressively branded as the first of its kind in the north, Bingo Balls gives revellers the chance to go out with friends for cocktails and music, before reliving their youth and diving into a ball pit.
Arriving at around 8pm, I instantly noticed how busy it was. In fact, I cannot remember the last time I saw a bar with quite so many merry people at such an early point of the evening. It appears it is already becoming a popular spot for people heading out into the city, despite only having opened its doors earlier this month.
The venue just screams 'hen do', probably due to the fact there were numerous booths of women wearing sashes and tiaras, and really lends itself to special occasions, with a separate small VIP ball pit area also available to be booked out. I was lucky enough to be seated in a booth, with staff always on hand to bring you drinks and ask which of the cocktails you wanted to try.
