● Manchester’s infamous Joshua Brooks reopens under new management. With a £200 000 refit, the new-look Joshua Brooks offers all-day drinking and dining and new additions of a terrace and Cubanitos kitchen.

● Joshua Brooks will play host to a stream of opening parties with globally renowned DJ’s including Darius Syrossian, Mason Collective, Mark Knight and many more.

Manchester’s 24-hour party people can dust off the dancing shoes with the revival of the infamous Joshua Brooks, one of the city’s most adored clubbing institutions.

This iconic venue will reopen its doors to drinkers, diners and ravers on Friday, July 23rd 2021, playing host to techno heavyweight Darius Syrossian, followed by legendary House DJ Mark Knight on Saturday, July 24th 2021.

Proudly taking over an extensive corner plot on Princess Street, Manchester, this clubbing mecca is currently undergoing a £200,000 revamp courtesy of new owners Jorge Meehan and Brian Murphy. This entrepreneurial pair are renowned in the industry for owning and operating shindigs such as Wile Out Festival, Southern Sunset Festival, Social Avenue, Milton Keynes Reggae Festival, Acropolis and many more. With over 20 years of combined experience, they will be turning their expert attention to breathing new life into Joshua Brooks, bringing this historic venue back to its former glory with an extensive ‘back to brick’ refit.

The venue will officially reopen on Thursday, July 22nd, 2021, for an exclusive press launch party with headliners Darius Syrossian alongside home-grown DJ’s Mason Collective, a dynamic trio rising through the underground music scene with their signature high energy grooves and explosive DJ sets.

The new-look Joshua Brooks will be a one-stop-party shop for musically minded Mancunians, combining drinking, dining and dancing from dusk until dawn.

By day, the revamped bar will be a home-from-home for the city’s workers, featuring comfortable seating, exposed brickwork and all of the nostalgic charm for which the venue was known.

There is also the addition of an on-site food kitchen courtesy of “Cubanitos”. Well known at festivals across the country, this campervan turned food kitchen concept will be permanently parked up in Joshua Brooks, offering tantalising Cuban street food from 12 pm-11 pm every day.

Expect traditional Cuban sandwiches, tongue-tingling “Picante” Burgers, artisan Hot Dogs, “Ropa Vieja”, a flavoursome Cuban beef stew and obligatory sides of Dirty Rice, Slaw and “Empanadas”. Dessert lovers can indulge in the Pina Colada Panna Cotta with Dark Rum and Charred Pineapple or a palette cleansing Mojito Sorbet. A small plate menu will also launch in early August, featuring authentic, traditional Cuban dishes but with a modern-day twist.

As the lights go down, early evening drinkers can treat themselves at the bar to expertly crafted Cuban-themed cocktails or one of the many draught beers on offer that includes Camden Hells, Goose IPA and Manchester’s own Union Lager. The new outdoor terrace provides the perfect place for enjoying al fresco drinks and watching the world go by.

Once refreshed, it will be time to go deep into the hallowed underbelly of this infamous venue, where the basement will play host to a handpicked selection of the world’s finest Techno, House and Funk DJ’s. Reviving the spirit of Manchester’s original basement party every weekend from 11 pm-4am will be Phase One DJ’s that includes Manchester heavyweights Mason Collective, drag Queen DJ and producer Jodie Harsh, D&B and Jungle DJ Kahn, Global Fire Record label owner Guy J, French House and Disco DJ Jeremy Underground and many more.

Jorge MD of Joshua Brooks and JBM Events said:

“We are so excited to reopen the doors to Joshua Brooks. When we found out it was no longer returning as a club, we felt compelled to take the project on so Manchester did not lose yet another clubbing institution.We have so much love for the space after running events there for over seven years, and we are so proud to be able to open up once again with the new additions of the kitchen, the terrace and, of course, some of the world’s finest DJ’s.”

Ready to return with a vengeance, Thursday, July 22nd 2021, will play host to an exclusive VIP and press preview party featuring musical maestros Mason Collective and Darius Syrossian who will resurrect the spirit of Manchester’s most famous musical mecca for an ultimate revival rave with many more to come.
