Shopping
At the Ancoats end of the street is the Frog and Bucket Comedy Club. Further down is the independent music venue The Night and Day Café and Dry Bar. A little further along is Afflecks, catering for alternative and individualised fashions. There are retro/vintage clothing stores on the street.
In addition to Oldham Street's alternative fashion outlets, it is known for second hand music shops specialising in collectible and new vinyl, ranging from rhythm & blues, soul and folk to Madchester, techno, drum & bass and dubstep.
