Stumbled across this pub on route to Lass o'gowrie and loved it. On a saturday lunchtime wheen it was quiet but beer was excellent, barmaid gorgeous and one coukld sense how alive it would be in the evening - and i'm 60!!

The scholar is ace!!!!!!!!!
|
I have been living in Manchester city centre for 10 years now and have been visiting the thirsty scholar regularly since moving here. This has to be my favourite pub by far! The live music mid week is excellent and showcases a whole range of acts, while the dj's on the weekend really get the place movin!The night time atmosphere is unrivalled!! They have a wide range of beers and spirits and the prices are not too bad. I highly recommend you try it.
Also the large outdoor smoking area is a must!

Sunday Night DJ is ace - Rock/Metal played all night. Has the hostile and Northern Alternative nights on at the Attic and other nights too...
|
A bit dark and dank. The beer wasn't up to much when we went and the jukebox decided to play tracks that we hadn't selected. Told the bloke behind the bar but no refund. Seems to be unsure what kind of pub it wants to be, but currently isn't the kind of pub I'd like to visit again.

Could be fair to call it a student hangout, but nothing like the fallowfield-type scream pubs.
went on a friday, great soul tunes- agree with the lovely vibe!!

I got taken here by my 27 yr old aunty and its so bizarre. Very relaxed and some of the furniture looks like it from a porn film!
Toilets are ok-but still gross!
Juke box is pretty good and the drinks are priced fairly cheap.

Check out CHIPS'n'GRAVY every wednesdasy at Thirsty Scholar. This live music night's been going some time, and it offers some truly fantastic acoustic acts, bands and DJs. It's free to get in, and the music is always excellent standard which means it is usually full to bursting point. If you don't like crowded pubs, you'd do well to get there quite early as it gets real busy from 11pm onwards. The atmosphere is fantastic tho.

1 - Salisbury
2 - Grand Central
3 - Thirsty Scholar...
Good DJ on Sundays but this is how the three pubs will ALWAYS be ranked :)

Cramped and stressful. Not my favourite pub. However, if you've got to choose between this and the nearby Grand Central, there's no competition. There are much better pubs nearby, though.

I've never really liked this pub - the layout is terrible and it can get very smoky.
