However having said this it does have a mixture of people coming through the doors. Upstairs is your typical boozer, digital jukebox, tv’s, fruit machines and pool table should keep all amused. While downstairs is the Retro Bar’s hidden gem, hosting live band nights and club nights throughout the week. There is a small entry fee for downstairs and it can get busy very quickly. This is also a popular starting point for people venturing off to 5th Avenue.

Barcadi Models and Fishy Tales April 20, 2007

Filed under: Manchester Bar Blog — manchesterbars @ 2:22 pm

Obsidian

It’s a hard life working for ManchesterBars.com and RestaurantsOfManchester.com – seriously it is!  No matter how hard you try to go through a week without any alcohol or to stick to your diet, something crops up and you find yourself drunk by lunchtime and eating out 3 times in one day.

That’s what happened yesterday.  I popped out with Nick to review Ikan – the wonderful Thai and Oriental restaurant next to the Ibis Hotel on Portland Street.  The owner, the delightful Catherine Lim, is really proud of her restaurant – and rightly so – the food is delicious and the surroundings plush.  Jazz music plays and there’s a grand piano that adds to the chilled out vibe.  In a city that has no shortage of quality Thai restaurants, Ikan comes highly recommended. 

A quick walk around the corner to Obsidian threw us into a surreal moment.  As soon as we walked in, all the lights went off – it turned out that Baracardi were filming a new advert in there and kept tripping the fusebox.  We were invited to go and watch the advert being filmed, which saw our 2 ugly faces mixing amongst the beautiful guys and girls dancing away in a corner, pretending to be on a packed dancefloor.  The DJ (another model) was pretending to spin his discs behind the bar, encouraging everyone to throw their hands up in delight – we duly did, until the lights went off again.  No dear reader, if the advert ever makes it on TV, I can let you into a secret.  The DJ isn’t actually spinning any discs on his decks.  In fact – there were no decks behind the bar at all – just a dishwasher.  So what you’ll actually see is a load of Barcadi models throwing their hands up in the air not to the DJ’s mixing talent, but rather to his washing up skills!

Back into daylight and we had time for one in Temple – it’s a weird little bar this Oxford Street wonder.  We love it – back when it was called Temple Of Convenience (named after the public toilet that used to be here) it was one of the first bars in Manchester to offer German wheat beers and Belgian import ales.  It’s not lost any of its charm – although the bogs are still a shithole! – Howard, the superb bar man gave us some cash to put some tunes on the jukebox so it was with great pride that I chose two or three tracks from the ‘O Brother Where Out Thou’ OST, I Am Kloot, Led Zeppelin, Stephen Fretwell, Van Morrison and Elbow.  And as if by magic, as soon as Elbow’s ‘Red’ started to play, in walked Pete Turner, the Psycho Bob haired bass player from the band and the actual writer of the track.  Embarrassing!  I wonder what it’d be like to listen to your own music on a jukebox?  And boy, what a jukebox!

Elbow

A quick walk down the canal to Castlefield taking in all the beautiful old buildings that are being dwarfed and demolished by the modern monstrosities they dare call ‘architecture’ and then Jim H joined us.

A quick twist of the arm and we were back out ‘reviewing’ once more.  First stop – our favourite bar, Cask, another import ale place with an amazing Manc jukebox – Ian Brown, Morrissey, Smiths, Happy Mondays and Inspiral Carpets were quickly selected before we headed back to Temple, which was surprisingly dead.  By the way, you can now pick up our highly sought after “Pride Of Manchester chewing gum wrappers” at both these amazing bars.  Although we noticed they were going down rather quickly whilst we were there.

Then it was back to Obsidian for a Caiphirina which suddenly became the choice of tipple for the night and was repeated at Prohibition where the DJ span some funky house on his dishwasher.

Somehow we found time to review Livebait – the truely awful fish restaurant next to the town hall.  I’ve been here many times and for some reason, still find myself revisiting even though it’s overpriced and very average.  What annoys me most though is that they charge 10% service charge.  The waiter then gives you the option to add gratuity on the credit card machine, to which – if you have noticed you’ve already paid it (many people won’t) – you click ‘No’.  The waiter then gets all stroppy and explains that ‘Service Charge’ is apparently not a tip and the waiters don’t get a share of it.  Daylight robbery!!!  A bit like their prices really!  There’s a serious lack of fish restaurants in Manchester, so Livebait has survived on a reputation as being the best in town.  For me though, you can get better fish dishes at many of the other places in town.

A quick visit to Mojo, where the likes of Tom Petty, Lynryd Skynryd, Jimi Hendrix and The Doors were on the soundsystem – for us, any cocktail bar with photographs of Richard Thompson, Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams and BB King is worthy of a good review.  Too many caipirhina’s later and we were off to Manchester 235 for a quick flutter and an amazing raspberry & blueberry caipirhina before going home to bed at 5am, having spent on drinks than what we’d won on roulette.

So in brief…

BAR OF THE NIGHT – Cask– great friendly atmosphere as always (although they need to sort the bogs out!)

DRINK OF THE NIGHT – Manchester 235 – raspberry & blueberry caipirhina

TUNE OF THE NIGHT – Mojo – free fallin’ by tom petty

JUST NOT ON – Livebait – charging 10% service charge then asking for a tip on top

TrofTrof 5-8 Thomas Street, Manchester, M4 1EG map

  • Starting out as an extremely popular student bar in fallowfield, Trof has now grown up and made the move to the extremely trendy northern quarter in manchester. Over 2006 and 2007 a countless number of bars have opened or are due to open in this already well populated part of manchester and Trof should be one that succeeds as long as it keeps to the successful recipe of great food, being served in very large portions at reasonable prices along with some quality imported beers and lagers from all around the world. All in all a great place to hang out, relax and enjoy an unusual beer and a meal, plus the added benefit for all manchesters thirty somethings is that it isn’t packed full of students… yet.

Sat awkwardly on a triangular piece of land on the corner of Great Bridgewater Street, the amazing two tone green brick work and roof top washing line makes it one of Manchester’s best loved landmarks. ‘The Pev’, as it’s referred to by many Mancunians, has a fine selection of real ales and beers and even offers a pool table and a traditional table football machine with the soundtrack provided by the excellent jukebox, crammed full of the more famous Manc bands.

A big bar (Manto is spread over three floors), can often feel hollow and one can become a number in the crowd, not so here, everyone is very friendly and they want you to be happy, relaxed and carefree. A bar by day and a club by night, manto is run by gay people for gay people, although if you’re not gay but just a little bit happy then you’re more than welcome.

  • Mojo, a dark loft bar above the Starbucks behind Kendals, is a popular hidden gem.  Serving great cocktails and playing classic rock music from the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and today, the walls are packed with posters and black and white prints of rock icons, with a fair share of Mancunian stars amongst them.  Another concept imported from Leeds, Mojo also have a branch in the Bahamas and can best be described as a superior British take on the Hard Rock Cafe formula (minus the food, crap American perm metal and the memoribilia from bands that never really meant anything to Manchester anyway).  There’s a large cocktail menu, with prices amongst the cheapest in town and the quality amongst the best.  And where else in Manchester will you hear Neil Young followed by Gill Scott Heron, Van Morrison, Led Zeppelin or Creedence Clearwater Revival!?!  Located in what was once Lloyds Bar, Bench and Tapas Tapas, just off Bridge Street, near the Crown Court, it’s a hard to find bar that always looks closed from the outside.  The entrance is tucked down the dirty backstreet behind the fantastic Koreana restaurant and the delightful Mulligans Irish pub. It’s one well worth seeking out and it’s obvious many people do as it especially gets busy at weekends.  As they claim themselves, they’re playing ‘Music For The People’.

  • Another manchester first, la tasca is now a chain of tapas bars that you will find all accross the country. it all started here though and the opening of la tasca brought a new drinking and dining experience to mancunians in the 90s. the spanish themed menu offers good food at a reasonable price, added to that the latino beats spun by the weekend DJ in the basement club and the great spirit and cocktail offers and la tasca becomes a great all round party venue.  As well as restaurants over the UK, La Tasca have also started two new concepts, just a few doors down on Deansgate – La Vina (an upmarket Spanish tapas bar) and Pesto (an Italian tapas bar).

  • One of the few places in manchester that encourages you to stand on your chairs, manchester bier Keller (or ‘The Beer Keller’ as the sign outside says) is a great place for parties and large groups. Part of a small chain of clubs offering traditional style Oompah nights, the music is stereotypically German and the beer comes in very, very large pots – 2 litre Steins to be precise. Bier Keller now also offer gig nights on selected fridays and the venue is sometimes used in the day for pole dancing lessons!

  • With names like ‘Dorothy’s Bar’, the ‘Mineshaft’ and the ‘Tunnel Bar’ it is clear to see why Legends is a male gay bar. These unusual names are given to parts of the extensive nightclub, which is quite literally a maze of great sized rooms. Legends is currently home to some of manchesters hottest gay club nights such as ‘homoelectric’ and ‘bollox’. Open every Saturday and some Fridays and Sundays, legends is definitely worthwhile a visit if you fancy a stroll out of the village.

  • Respected as one of the best cocktail bars outside of london, manchester’s Socio Rehab is a hidden gem in the heart of the northern quarter. As it only advertises itself with a small name plaque on the door, you may have unwittingly walked past this great experience.  If you spend the time looking however (its right next door to it’s sister bar rodeo, opposite bluu) you’ll be rewarded and pleasantly surprised.  It’s part of the rulesyou have to have a cocktail, thats what this place is about, but this can cause a wait at the bar on busy weekend nights. if you are not sure what to try, ask the very knowledgeable and friendly barstaff who will expertly create a little piece of heaven in a glass. The bar is tiny, and there is not much seating but the music is good and the atmosphere is friendly.

The decor is lush and there’s a great range of artwork (for sale) on the walls.  Popular with residents of the many luxury apartments that are springing up in this area, Moonlight is well worth the trek off the beaten path to enjoy a quiet drink with good company.

  • Not many people know about Bar fringe. It is a well kept secret at the top end of manchester’s northern quarter, maybe a little too far out for some to walk to during their nightly pub crawls. Like it’s sister bar, cask, the exterior tells you nothing of what you will find inside; a great range of fabulous imported beers and some real cask ale to boot. The music is provided by a very well stocked jukebox and there is both a pool table and a pinball machine. The regulars are a friendly bunch and the atmosphere is very, very relaxed. In the height of summer, why not head to the beer garden out the back and truly hide away from the crowds elsewhere in town.

  • Situated under Afflecks Palace, North is a basement club which hosts a number of manchester club nights. The bar is well stocked and an entrance fee normally applies. The club itself, refitted in Summer 2006, has a great layout and has plenty of room both on the dancefloor and in the seated chill out room. Attracting some of the biggest DJ names, this venue has been popular for sometime yet it’s surprising that it is still a relatively well kept secret. Every night offers something different and the music is ecclectic, usually focusing on old and new school house, trance, drum’n’bass, funky latino and acid jazz classics.

  • The spectacular looking Shakespeare, just off manchester’s market street, originated in chester but was moved to manchester sometime in the 1920’s. the exterior gives an impression of a real old world pub, the inside has been chopped and changed over the years and now is quite dark. The bar is quite reasonable and there are a few real ales on offer, there are some imported bottle lagers on offer too.  Popualr with shoppers and office workers alike, they also offer traditional pub grub, with a roast being the special on sundays. A great jukebox and a number of tvs allow the drinker to spend a great couple of hours in this friendly city centre pub.

  • the interior of the bay horse is completely different to what you would expect from the exterior. For a start, it only looks small from the outside, yet inside there are two very large bar areas. Then, you might be thinking you were going to be stepping into an older worldy pub, but no, the interior is classy and modern. There is a great selection of wine and spirits behind the bar, and some good draught and bottled beers also and if you are peckish, they do have a few bar snacks on offer. If its full upstairs, then head down the staircase to a darker basement and enjoy ample seating and a good game of pool.

  • If you don’t know where Rodeo is, just look for the very Bright Mural on the side of the building, the doors just round the corner and if you see a seat free, then bag it as it can get very busy inside here very quickly. The bar area is only small, the bar itself takes up a fair proportion of the room, and is graced with some fine spirits. With a south american and spanish feel, rodeo is just that little bit different without falling foul of the tacky theme. The music is cool, and the company is very good, with cheapish drinks to boot, its got to be worth a visit.
