Has Manchester become too expensive for a night out?

Manchester has one of the UK's largest night-time economies, with the city centre drawing people to its pubs, bars, clubs, restaurants and live music venues. Recent expansion of the Bee Network's night buses reflects the scale of demand, with services now running through the night to every Greater Manchester borough. [1]

However, the cost of eating, drinking and travelling home can make a night out expensive, while hospitality businesses themselves continue to face higher staffing, energy and business costs.
