Perhaps a person needs to be an uncultured juvenile in order to do so.
Certainly the overwhelming number of crammed-full chain bars would back this theory up.

As a 34 year old it was distinctly underwhelming.

I found their lack of shirts considerably more so.

You could have just avoided the packed full chain bars.
There's plenty of hidden gems in Manchester.

Is the Queen of Hearts still there, in Fallowfield?

(DBT became a fruitarian on, Wed 27 Aug 2014, 17:10, Reply)

Trying to be a posh bar now. Called whatever number it is on the street.

when i worked in didsbury, fallowfield was a shithole and didsbury was too expensive for students
now fallowfield seems to be full of blocks of designer 2 bed, 2 bath flats and didsbury is full of rich students

I like it in Fallowfield. I like my leafy suburbs.
I can deal with the students now too. it makes it all the more fun when they fuck off home for christmas.

manchester is a cracking night out if you venture away from deansgate and the shite locks. luckily we have those to keep the tourists away from the good stuff. local bars for local people.

Lies. It's shit and full of orange cunts.
Thankfully the hotel bar was a far more genteel prospect.

Sadly, not many.
My home town's gone right down the toilet since the Nineties.

There weren't too many theme bars then, we used to go out in the Northern Quarter, before it was callled that, great area.

The best hidden gem I found was the A56.
Hardly any traffic southbound. Beautiful.
