Manchester235 Casino (Poker Lounge)

Manchester235 runs the 235 Poker Lounge in central Manchester, open 24 hours alongside the main floor. The operator used to advertise poker without printing a single structure; as of late October 2026 the stakes, start times and guarantees are on the page.

What changed

When we first checked this room in September 2026 the casino advertised a poker lounge and "regional and national poker events" but published no buy-ins, start times or schedule, so our page said so. That is no longer true. The lounge now prints full structures for its headline tournaments, which is why this record has been rewritten rather than simply re-dated.

The regular card room

No Limit Hold'em cash games run daily. The room is managed by Doug Leonard, whose dealing team Metropolitan profiles on the same page.

Cash-game promotions

Three run alongside the games. High Hand of the Week pays £500 to the highest qualifying No Limit Hold'em hand between 6pm Monday and the close of play on Sunday, and a player must use both hole cards. Winning a post-flop pot holding 2-3-5 suited earns a rake-free pass. A royal flush pays a cash jackpot, advertised across the whole calendar year.

Checking before you travel

Tournament dates move and promotional terms are published separately for each event, so confirm the day's schedule with the casino on 0161 828 0300 before making the trip.
