Police were called to the social club at about 2am on Sunday, January 23.
Mr Ologbose, a 57-year-old dad-of-four who was born in Partington but lived in Leigh, was rushed to hospital and died later that day.
An inquest previously heard that Mr Ologbose was punched, causing him to fall and bang his head on the floor.
"The defendant accepts what he did," Brierley's barrister Paul Treble told a hearing at Manchester Crown Court.
"He certainly doesn't want to make anything worse by not admitting his guilt."
No further details of the case were revealed during a brief plea hearing.
Judge Nicholas Dean QC told Brierley: "You have pleaded guilty at the first opportunity in this court to the offence of manslaughter.
"You cannot be sentenced today, more information is required.
"You will know that you face a lengthy sentence of imprisonment, it is just a question of how long."
Brierley, of Hendon Street, Leigh, is due to be sentenced in April.
In a tribute issued after his death, Mr Ologbose's family described him as a 'loving, caring person' who would 'help anyone in need'.
They said: "Our beautiful dad, Paul, passed away surrounded by his four children, brother and family on the 23rd January. He was taken from us too soon, and in the worst way possible, which as a family we will never get our heads around.
"Our dad was a family man who loved all his children and grandchildren very much, and made a big impact on so many people's lives. Everybody loved him for who he was, a loving caring person who would help anyone in need.
"Our dad was the go to person for anything to do with engines, he could fix anything! He loved his job, with window cleaning meaning everything to him.
"Our dad had his business for 31 years and loved every single day of it. He would make time for all his customers, even if it was because he seen a car he liked in their garden, or to ask for a brew with 3 sugars.
"Our dad was one in a million. We hope you are dancing away to your Bob Marley music and wearing your Bob Marley Hat which you never took off. Your two grandchildren love you so much.
"Rest easy Dad and Grandad Bushy, we all love and miss you so much."
After the incident, Detective Superintendent Rebecca Boyce, of GMP's Wigan district, said: "A man has horrendously lost his life after suffering a serious head injury that we believe was sustained from one punch during an altercation on a night out."
