Trendy bar in Manchester's Northern Quarter, home to crumbling warehouses, greasy spoons, sex shops and an increasingly bohemian image. The bar panders well to this, with the usual modern art, mood lighting, sofas and new age paraphernalia. THere's a good jukebox and newspapers to peruse. It's got two levels, the main bar upstairs and a cosy basement room where films are sometimes screened. Always busy with trendy young things and the odd CAMRA type. Only one handpump but it has a reasonable turnover of guest ales, mostly from Manchester microbreweries, sometimes a little further afield. Last night I had Hornbeam Amber Sunset, which was OK and kept quite well. Expensive though at £3. Some Continental beers too which were more popular than the handpump. Staff a bit miserable though, but I think I would be working here. I quite like it here against all my usual tastes, of all the new bars springing up in this area it's definitely the best. Beer wise I wouldn't go out of my way for it but it's quirky and worth popping in.

Visited many times, nice bar with quircky atmosphere and good mix of clientle. One real ale normally from a local micro and normally excellent. Other world beers also avaialble including some fruit beer. Food is also good and reasonable. Does get busy at weekend, music (DJ) normally starts around 7.00pm and there will be a (normally friendly) bouncer at weekends.

A pleasant place to sit outside and watch girls go by.

A bit of a bohemian bar is this one. It’s got a small upstairs area with red walls covered in photos and posters, a stuffed Elks head and a couple of interesting clocks. There’s a mixture of seating in here ranging from leather sofas to dining chairs and tables. Downstairs is an even smaller lounge filled with cream coloured comfy sofa’s and seats. The toilet doors are covered in door knockers which is unusual. There is only 1 handpump on the bar, last night they were selling Dunham Massey Summer Meadow which was pretty good. It’s a very pleasant place and well worth a visit. Be warned though, it gets very full at weekends.

Took my brother and cousin who were up from London here last week and Joy Division Love Will Tear Us Apart was playing as they went in - welcome to Manchester!

I really like this place, quite quirky with a good atmosphere. Don't go near the bottled cider though, it was truly horrendous.
