Joshua Brooks is a three-floor bar and club at 106 Princess Street on Manchester's Oxford Road corridor, in a listed Victorian building. First opened in 1993 and substantially rebuilt in 2021, it has been part of the city's clubbing scene for three decades, with a basement that is its best-known feature. The middle floor is a laid-back bar serving strong cocktails, the venue's signature Long Island iced teas and food from a kitchen resident, with a terrace out back and an upstairs Clubhouse used for comedy, quizzes and live sport. Beneath the brick arches, the basement is powered by a VOID Acoustics sound system and has hosted house, techno, garage and drum-and-bass sets from names such as Goldie, Sam Divine, Dennis Ferrer, Danny Tenaglia and Alan Fitzpatrick, plus long-running daytime disco sessions. It sits on the Oxford Road corridor, a student-heavy strip of bars and clubs just south of Manchester city centre.
