The earliest known print reference is from 1963, when world snooker runner-up Jack Rea played against amateurs at the Winston Conservative Club.[6]

On 4th November 2024, a brawl erupted at the Winston Club while it was hosting a birthday party and a funeral. The brawl resulted in numerous people being hospitalised, and the owner's daughter was also injured. The incident prompted a hearing by Manchester City Council, and the club was instructed to hire security officials when hosting events with over 60 people, to provide security training to staff, and to expand their CCTV coverage.[7]
