A lost Manchester venue was one of 'the' places to be seen for 20 years in the city.
Specialising in trendy cocktails and stylish food, The Living Room in Manchester quickly became the city’s place to be seen, with both local and non-local celebrities venturing there. One of Manchester's most popular nightlife spots, it was the first in a series of venues.
Founder, the late Tim Bacon, opened the first Living Room on Deansgate in 1999 and built up the chain to 13. It was not particularly living room-like in style, as the original décor was very modern for its time with expanses of dark wood, big windows, plants and candlelit tables.
