Discover more about Satans Hollow
Demonic Lair in the Heart of Manchester
Satans Hollow lurks beneath the bustling streets of central Manchester at 101 Princess Street, a venue shrouded in notoriety for its infernal aesthetic. The interior assaults the senses with gothic flourishes: a colossal statue of Satan looms above the DJ booth, casting an ominous gaze over the throng below, while carved faces peer from surrounding pillars, evoking a descent into the underworld. This isn't your glossy superclub; it's a raw, unpolished space where the air thickens with sweat, smoke, and the roar of heavy riffs, perfectly capturing the city's rebellious underground spirit.Punk, Rock, and Metal Haven
Dedicated to genres shunned by mainstream venues, Satans Hollow serves as Manchester's premier spot for punk, rock, and metal lovers. The dance floor pulses under strobe lights during themed club nights—Seduction on Wednesdays, Roadkill on Fridays, and Spitfire on Saturdays—each curating sets of indie, alternative, retro, and headbanging anthems. Sundays transform into live music territory, hosting gigs from emerging metalcore bands to established acts, with a central stage platform that immerses performers amid the crowd. The sound system delivers bone-rattling bass, ensuring every chord reverberates through your chest.Affordable Mayhem and Thirsty Crowds
Entry remains a steal at £2 to £5 most nights, drawing a youthful, party-hungry horde clad in skinny jeans, piercings, and band tees. Two bars flank the dance floor, slinging bargain drinks: bottles of beer for £1, pints of lager at £1.50, with Tuesdays offering a free bar from 10pm to 11pm. No velvet ropes or bottle service here—just efficient pours amid the chaos, fueling all-night sessions that spill into the early hours. The vibe is communal frenzy, where strangers bond over breakdowns and air guitar solos.Hidden Gem's Secret Allure
Finding Satans Hollow demands a smartphone for its discreet entrance, but the effort pays off in an authentic nightlife ritual. Capacity suits intimate raves, preventing the dilution of energy in vast halls, while the demonic decor—complete with hellish murals and dim red lighting—amps up the theatricality. It's a rite of passage for Manchester's alternative scene, where the uninitiated glimpse the city's darker, louder soul, far from Piccadilly's polished lights.Nightly Rhythms and Lasting Echoes
Doors swing open around 10pm on weekdays, earlier on weekends, closing between 3am and 4am as the faithful spill out into dawn. The venue's intimacy fosters electric connections between bands and fans, with performers leaping into the pit or climbing rigging for dramatic flair. Beyond the music, it's a cultural anchor for subcultures thriving on heavy grooves and defiant anthems, etching memories of euphoric release in Manchester's nocturnal tapestry.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
