Hindley Street is actually pretty quiet on a weeknight around midnight.
But not at the Horus Cafe. This place was buzzing in the balmy night with coffee, tea and smoking shisha from hookas. I'm not a fan of any kind of smoking but I found that just walking past the hookas the smoke was hardly noticeable not offensive at all. I'd rather see this kind of a good time on Hindley Street with very little alcohol involved than the messy scenes typical of a Friday or Saturday night here.
