For musical artist LUSAINT, it’s the vibrancy and versatility of Manchester that she loves most about her hometown.

Matt & Phreds

Jazz club
64 Tib St, Manchester M4 1LW, United Kingdom
Matt & Phreds

"One of the main music venues that I go to a lot is Matt & Phreds in the Northern Quarter. It’s a heavily influenced jazz bar, and they have live music every night. I go as much as I can to see the live music. It's always a really cool atmosphere. It's kind of an institution."

The Portico Library

Library
57 Mosley St, Manchester M2 3HY, United Kingdom
The Portico Library

"There's actually a beautiful library in the heart of Manchester on Mosley Street called Portico Library. It's always a very quiet and relaxed place — there are never many people there. For me, it's a small escape from the bustling city. It's really beautiful."

"Speak in Code cocktail bar is right within the heart of Manchester, just off Deansgate. They do the most incredible piña colada, if you're looking for a cocktail."
