Manchester's Most Underrated Social 👀

Looking to meet new people in Manchester without the awkwardness?

Bants & Bash is back with another Friday night social — and this time we're taking over 9inety6ix at First Street for an evening of interactive darts, pool, food, drinks and plenty of opportunities to meet new people.

Whether you've recently moved to Manchester, want to expand your social circle, or just fancy doing something different on a Friday night, this one's for you. 🙌

Come solo.

Come with a friend.

Grab a drink, jump onto a darts lane and meet people naturally while playing.

No awkward networking.

No pressure.

No cliques.

Just games, conversations, laughs and good vibes. 🎯🍻

👋 COMING SOLO?

Absolutely.

A large number of people at our Bants & Bash socials come completely on their own, so you definitely won't be the only one.

Our events are designed around activities because we think meeting people is much easier when there's actually something to do.

Instead of standing around wondering who to speak to, you can simply:

🎯 Join a darts game

🎱 Jump onto the pool table

🍟 Grab some food

🍹 Get a drink

👋 Start chatting

Simple.

🎯 INTERACTIVE DARTS

We'll have 3+ interactive dart lanes available for the Bants & Bash crowd during the evening.

Don't worry if you're terrible at darts. 😂

You definitely don't need to be competitive or even know how to play properly.

The games are there to make meeting people easier, give everyone something to get involved with and create a relaxed social atmosphere.

Expect a bit of friendly competition, plenty of questionable throws and a lot of banter. 😂🎯

🎱 POOL TABLE

Fancy a break from darts?

We'll also have access to a pool table, giving you another easy way to get involved, play a game and meet people throughout the night.

🍗 SHARING FOOD

There'll also be sharing platters for the group during the evening, including:

🍗 Chicken Wings

🍟 Fries

🧅 Onion Rings

🥦 Cauliflower Bites

Perfect for grabbing something between games and having a chat.

Food is shared between attendees and is available while supplies last.

🍹 FULL BAR ALL NIGHT

9inety6ix has a full bar available throughout the evening, so grab whatever you fancy and settle in for the night.

Drinks are not included in the ticket price and can be purchased directly from the venue.

🌍 NEW TO MANCHESTER?

Even better.

You don't need to know anyone beforehand.

That's literally the point. 😂

🫶 THE BANTS & BASH VIBE

We're not trying to create another awkward networking event.

And this isn't speed dating.

We're simply bringing together a good group of people in Manchester and giving everyone games and activities that make starting conversations much easier.

Friendly, respectful and platonic vibes only.

Bants & Bash is a social event, not a dating event.
