Pho

Pho brings a relaxed, warmly lit atmosphere to Manchester City Centre, with a bar setting that works naturally for standing receptions of up to 60 guests. The condiment-lined tables and ambient glow give the space a lived-in character that feels a step removed from the usual event room. The Private Balcony Bar accommodates up to 60 standing and comes equipped with a microphone, bar and cocktail area, onsite catering, air conditioning, and high-speed internet - enough to support a drinks reception or informal gathering without needing to bring much in. Getting here is straightforward: Exchange Square tram stop is a two-minute walk, Victoria tram stop five minutes, and Manchester Airport is around 32 minutes by car. Manchester Cathedral is three minutes on foot, and the AO Arena a nine-minute walk - useful context for guests navigating the city or combining the evening with something else nearby.
