Soul / Motown

The Joy Room — Soul & Motown Night

PRE-SHOW DINING IN MANCHESTER
The Joy Room
at
AO Arena —

Dine with Us First

The bar warms up at 6, the band hits at 7, and dinner pulls up around the same time. Settle in with bourbon-glazed ribs, smoked mac, and a slow soul soundtrack — let the Motown carry the night.

Tables are held until the first set ends, so no one's clocking the kitchen. Stay for the second set, the third drink, and the inevitable “one more song.”
