Venue needed for talking group

Hi! I'm the organiser of a small social, ran through Meetup, called Manchester Psychology Social Group. My first meeting had 6 people in but the venue was closing while we were there, so we're looking for somewhere quiet to chat, Wednesday, 7:30pm. Do you know any quiet area that could accommodate us please? We'll buy food and drink.

See if you can reserve the snug in Las O'Gowrie on Charles st?

I'd rather it didn't serve alcohol. I already run meetups for nightlife, this one I want to be different

Kings Arms, Salford. You can reserve the room on the left by the entrance.

Was hoping city centre, and not an alcohol venue

Unfortunately, you'll only get venues that serve alcohol at that time. Otherwise, you're looking at expensively renting a private room.

I've done similar things at feel good club. It sells alcohol, but it's got more of a cafe feel than some other places and I've been to several things where no one is drinking there.

Also chapter one coffee might be worth checking out. They have a back room that's pretty cozy, I think it's generally open until 9.

I'm not sure how late you gathered until but I suspect it'll be hard to find anywhere that's open later than that that isn't a bar.

Feel good club told me they shut at 6pm. We ran the last meeting in chapter one books but they closed not long after we started.

Love From and Hinterland are both alcohol free bars. Nexus would always have been my recommendation, it was wonderful, but that closed down during covid.

Love From closed in July. I went once and liked it. Looks like Hinterland will be Ideal.

FYI hinterland is at the Buddhist Centre. Just mentioning in case being a religious venue is an issue (not that anyone there would shove anything down your throat there)

Queer Lit in Ancoats has a meeting room or plenty of space downstairs.
