Gullivers is a much-loved Northern Quarter pub and grassroots live-music venue at 109 Oldham Street, Manchester (M4 1LW), with a history dating back to 1865. It runs two performance spaces: the 110-capacity Ballroom upstairs, used for gigs and small theatre, and the 35-capacity Lounge downstairs for comedy and spoken word. The room hosts a constant stream of folk, indie, country, acoustic and emerging-artist nights and is a staple of Manchester's small-venue circuit.
