A glorious little café-cum-bar-cum-gig venue situated right in the heart of Manchester's Northern Quarter.
Ok, so they may not serve pints, but you can have a massive bottle of Polish Tyskie for around £3 whilst you listen to some of the finest new bands around. It even has conveniently placed benches for the vertically challenged such as myself to stand on.
Plus, it's got a certain ambience about it which really can't be beaten. Perhaps it's the huge dark red walls strewn with fairylights, or the massive lamps hanging from the ceilings, or the lack of air conditioning which doesn't exactly make it the most fragrant of places in the summer, or the manky toilets and general all round gloom, but it's pretty much infamous in Manchester and much loved, as evidenced when Manchester City Council attempted to shut it down in 2004 when local residents complained about noise pollution.
Oh, and the food they do there is damn tasty as well.
