Venue is alright, I like the small size as it makes the gig feel more intimate but the decoration is absolutely terrible and makes posting photos of the night almost embarrassing… Staff were friendly

One of the best small venues in Manchester. The decor makes you feel like you're watching a gig in someone's living room. Incredible space. If you get the chance to see a gig here, you'll have a great night.

Deaf is genuinely a monument for the queer community at this point I think it’s one of the safest & friendliest nightclubs in

I went here for my 21st birthday for the music/2000s night. I had always wanted to go to a musical event.We get there and are having fun, but one huge group decides to create a circle, taking up half the dance floor. That they won’t let anyone through, when there wasn’t that much space.Later on that evening, my friend was sick outside. Just because of a bad drink she had. It was out of the way of everyone and through the fence. She honestly was not drunk. Then the manager and a few security guards came up to us asking if someone had been sick. My friend explained that she had but she felt completely fine.The manager was nice and said that he could see my friend was not drunk and that it was just a bad drink. However then the security had to step in and kick us out as he didn’t care, she was still sick.We had paid for tickets and only been there about 2 hours. They ruined my birthday which really was a shame. Will not be going back

I started going to this venue fairly regularly before lockdown began, and I quickly loved it. Sad how it now seems like a shell of its former self but… it’s a beautiful shell that brings back memories

We booked tickets to a gig here for the 27th November and they didn't inform us that the dates for the show had changed to the 11th December. We emailed them asking if our tickets were still valid and had to contact them yet again when we heard nothing back. They claimed to have replied to us, giving us a time frame in which to respond, but no such email ever arrived (if it was even sent in the first place). Our tickets were refunded, but by that point all tickets had sold out for December 11th.So, not only did we not get to see and support the upcoming singer that we like, but the whole experience was unnecessary, stressful, and resulted in losing money to nonrefundable train tickets.

Went ro see Dead Poets and Hannah Wicklund. What a fantastic gig.Atmosphere was great. Both sets were fantastic and the Deaf Institute is a throwback venue from years gone by. Small and intimate.Will be going again.....Soon!!
