The future of a Manchester music venue which has hosted bands such as Wet Leg, Elbow and the Arctic Monkeys hangs in the balance after a noise complaint.

Owners of the Night & Day Cafe will appear in court next month over alleged breaches of statutory noise levels.

It comes after Manchester City Council issued the venue with a noise abatement notice last year.

If found in breach, the bar - which has been a Northern Quarter staple for more than 30 years - could close.

The row centres on a complaint from neighbours in an adjoining property, which has recently been converted for residential use.

Owner Jennifer Smithson, daughter of the late founder and Manchester icon Jan Oldenburg, has said she now "faces an impossible task".

Well that seems unfair as the council knew what it was,  offices would have been better than residences.


There aren't enough nightclubs in the city and this one is popular and brings in people from outside the city.


The place also has some historic value,  I think closing the Hacienda was a mistake,  please don't make this another.

Whoever lodged the complaint is typical of a certain type of individual who feels they somehow deserve to be treated as a special case. We have had plenty of exposure to them down here in Cornwall, and I have lost count of the number of cases I have followed where the complainant is unhappy about the fact that a twelfth century church tower has somehow been erected close to their retirement idyll. Thankfully, these cases have been mostly dismissed up until now. Let’s hope this continues to be the case.

The best pub in the so called northern quarter “the city  “ has closed , the pub was rough as a bears bum but very safe
