Dunno about Manchester but the Union Rooms, J.D Wetherspoons in Newcastle upon Tyne is on 3 floors of a building in the style of a French Chateau. Definitely worth a visit, though so of the staff leave a lot to be desired

A French Chateau in Newcastle? I have just developed a mental image of the Toon Army waving hankerchiefs, drinking wine and eating langustine. Possibly even while smaoking Gauloises and saying "Haw he haw".

Just goes to show it's not all flat caps and whippets in the party capital of England

Can vouch that Moon Under Water in Manchester is big. I didn't realise that it holds 1800! It used to be cinema - an old style one with plush velvet and grand staircases to the balcony. I think it was the ABC and I actually saw a film there about 23 years ago. It gets very full of students as its cheap. The food's pretty good too. It's a pretty good place to start your night out as it's at the end of Deansgate - a major road through the middle of town with bars and various different quarters all within walking distance.
