YES

YES is a four-floor pub and club venue at 38 Charles Street in Manchester, England, just off Oxford Road near the university district and the Manchester Metropolitan University campus. The building holds multiple rooms, including a basement venue, bar spaces and upper floors, which allows several types of event to run at the same time. The crowd is mostly aged 18 to 35, with students, local gig-goers and music fans, and the dress code is relaxed, with casual clothing and trainers typical. The atmosphere is informal and independent-minded, with a lively bar area, a mix of live bands and DJs, and a loyal following for grassroots music nights. Programming includes live gigs, indie, rock, punk, hip-hop and electronic nights, comedy and club events, with each floor often given its own musical style, so the typical sound depends on the night. The drinks programme includes draught and bottled beer, cider, spirits, cocktails and soft drinks at prices in line with a student-friendly city venue, and food may be served during the day. Opening hours are listed as typically open late Thursday to Saturday, with event-specific times. Entry is free early in the evening and varies per night, with a listed range from free to about £12, and tickets for bigger gigs are usually sold in advance. Reservations are not standard for standing events, though groups can contact the venue about tables on some dates, and bottle service is not a feature of the format. Queues on Friday and Saturday late evenings can be long, especially on student nights, and the door team checks ID. Arriving early often avoids the entry fee and the busiest queue. The venue is within walking distance of Oxford Road Station and the city centre.
