Jillys Rockworld at Manchester Student Guide

Jillys is a dingy place that is situated in the heart of the Oxford Road corridor. It caters to the heavier end of the rock scene, so if that’s your thing then you’ll love it.

It’s rather dirty and a bit smelly, but the DJ’s are some of the best on the rock / alternative scene in Manchester, and on a Thursday (”Cheapskates” night) it’s only ?1.50 entry and there are stupidly cheap drinks offers.

On Friday you’ll find it hosting it’s legendry all nighter, with it serving alcohol all the night up until 7am. And yes, it does get messy.

Saturday tends to cater to a slightly older crowd mainly due to the ‘real world’ drinks prices and it does cost ?5.50 to get in (the same as the all nighter on Fridays).

Anyway, on to the club itself. It has four pretty big rooms, with all playing a different genre of music. There’s metal, some mainstream rock and some dance (think more Prodigy and drum and bass than trance) in the main room and depending on the night, the other rooms will have classic rock, punk / ska, goth and indie.

So, score. Four and a half. Looses half a point for the toilets being absolutely disgusting (with added middle age hag coming in with a mop for a stare whilst you’re having a slash) and the drinks are pretty expensive for people on a student budget on Fridays and Saturdays.
