Before Hollywood Vampires takes the stage
Hotels, food and things to do around the AO Arena.
The Northern Quarter
Manchester's creative hub is a short walk north from the AO Arena. Vintage shops, independent cafés, craft breweries, and restaurants fill the streets. Park further out and spend an hour here before or after an event—it's a natural buffer to the post-show rush.
Spinningfields Market
Just south of Deansgate, this covered market has food vendors, independent stalls, and seating. Good for a quick bite before heading to the arena or a place to sit after if you're not racing away.
Deansgate restaurants and bars
The main street around the arena is lined with chain and independent venues. Arrive early and eat here to break up the evening; most places clear out in time for the show.
- Our favourite
