The Printworks is a vibrant and dynamic entertainment hub located in the heart of Manchester, offering visitors a plethora of attractions and amenities. It has transformed a historic building into a lively complex with excellent dining options, bars, and a well-regarded cinema. The highlight of the venue is its striking multimedia ceiling, which adds an immersive experience to your visit.
Key Features:
- Great selection of eateries and bars to cater to various tastes.

- Conveniently located close to Victoria train station and public transport links.
- Vibrant atmosphere ideal for social gatherings, nightlife, and entertainment.

While many visitors rave about the good food, cinema experience, and lively ambiance, some have noted that it can get quite busy, especially during weekends.

However, the overall feedback highlights the Printworks as a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists seeking an enjoyable experience.

Printworks: Opinions
Positive experience: The print work is good however I feel a lot of children there it’s annoying especially when little teen kids messing around inside. The photo booth which we used a month prior is broken and that’s probs because kids broke the machine and it’s new which is a shame. Lifts only available by asking a staff member which is annoying especially if the film is on a higher floor.
Fantastic experience: Great place to visit right in the centre of Manchester close to Victoria train station. Plenty shops bars and hard rock right around the corner
Fantastic experience: Plenty of good bars to choose from
Fantastic experience: Look so much nicer than it used to, a lovely place again to be honest. The whole ceiling is now a screen and it's amazing.
Positive experience: The Print Work building has many facilities, but I specifically went there for the cinema, and it was a great experience. The cinema is very nice and comparatively cheaper than Odeon, which is a big plus. I really appreciated the reclining comfortable seats that made the movie experience even better, and the temperature in the theater was just right. Overall, I highly recommend checking it out if you’re looking for a good movie experience!
Positive experience: Just had food and drink, a decent pub , good service
Positive experience: Redone to a high standard.. lovely lively place.
Fantastic experience: What an amazing piece of Northern England!
Positive experience: Good selection of bars. But a fair bit of riff raff later on during a weekend. It's convenient for a quick drink on the way home after leaving the office on a Friday though.
Fantastic experience: Really good experience
Positive experience: Good cinema, not great customer service but ok, customer service. Pricey. Found cheaper prices at ODEON. But great location.near transport and is in the centre, near shudehill bus interchange and victoria train station and metrolink service also.
Positive experience: Went to O'Neils inside the print works. Had food and a couple of drinks. Good service, food and drinks. One loud obnoxious female spoilt it a little with her overly loud, forced and fake laughing and attention seeking behaviour

Positive experience: Newly refurbished, the grand old dame is looking great. A wide variety of pubs and entertainment under an enormous LED display roof.
Fantastic experience: Impressive redevelopment and the ceiling display thing really is fantastic. Only criticism is of course it's only major chain restaurants/bars inside, much like the Corn Exchange opposite, so that does tend to feel a bit plastic.

Positive experience: Went to the Vue cinema ️ the staff are friendly and helpful. If you are buying snacks be warned it's expensive. What really let it down was the ladies toilets. The bins for towels and tampons were overflowing. There wasn't soap in most of the dispensers . When we visited in the past there wasn't an issue with the ladies toilets.
Thank you for your constructive feedback. We will pass this to the Vue team.
Fantastic experience: What a gorgeous spot! The cinema was so nice and the multimedia ceiling is so captivating. Highly recommend as a tourist destination.

Negative experience: Visited the Printworks to see the new ceiling screen. Was amazed and disappointed. The content on the screen was so out of date. Advertising the Olympics which ended weeks ago and showing the Despicable Me 4 movie “coming out this Friday” when it came out months ago. Whoever updates the content needs to be sacked.
Thanks for visiting us. We are sorry that we did not meet your expectations on this occasion but would like to clarify that our Olympic/Paralympic content was live last week as the Paralympic Games were still in full swing in Paris. Our content changes regularly and hope you will return and see something you enjoy soon.
Fantastic experience: Love the Printworks easy to find in the city centre next to both bus station/train station. There's lot's of variety food/drink eateries & also a fantastic nightclub/crazy golf & a various games venue where I did Axe Throwing Boom Battle Bar, lot's of staff /security to keep everyone safe, just love the buzzing atmosphere here.
