Five reasons why you need to know about Manchester’s new member’s only venue

The Mezz’s mantra is ‘elevated elegance in the heart of the action’ – and it couldn’t be truer. AO Arena – which happens to be Europe’s largest indoor sporting arena – has just completed a spectacular £50 million transformation. As part of it, there’ll be state-of-the-art tech and digital screens, new lounges and bars, and of course, The Mezz. This member’s only bar and restaurant offers the ultimate AO Manchester VIP experience from arrival to encore. Members can choose to visit during any show of the arena’s programme (think world-class acts and spectacular concerts), and have access to The Mezz before, during and after the show. You’ll also get early access via dedicated VIP entrances and premium seats.

Opening early March, The Mezz is home to The Bar and The Restaurant, two unique but connected experiences that will take you and your guests above and beyond the show. Created in partnership with Michelin star chef Simon Rogan and exciting Manchester talent Tom Barnes, this fine dining menu is modern British at its best. As a member, you’ll enjoy all-inclusive food and drink – including incredible cocktails – and a private dedicated table in The Restaurant. 

We all love receiving a bit of VIP treatment – and what you’ll get at The Mezz is next-level service. Members gain access to an app and portal, where you can easily make all your bookings. And once you’re there, there’s a dedicated host service, and a fully serviced cloakroom. 

Picture this: you’re sipping excellent wine and snacking on wagyu sliders, lobster cocktails or a rib-eye steak for two. In front of you are panoramic views of the stage, where a world-famous band plays. Does it get more luxurious than that? At The Mezz, client hospitality is made easy, whether you’re taking contacts for drinks before a show or hosting a larger group for dinner. 

If you’re looking to make useful contacts in your field, then being a member of The Mezz makes a lot of sense. Here, you’ll rub shoulders with the movers and shakers of Manchester – perhaps with a cocktail in hand. 

Several membership options are available. Ten shows and access to The Mezz Bar starts at £3,500, with packages going up to £12,500 for 50 shows and dining. To find out more, visit The Mezz website and book an appointment.
