I was in this pub for the first time during the leather weekend in Manchester. They hosted the cigar social there. When I read the reviews before coming I was expecting the worst. But I'm glad it turned out to be the opposite. It's located in the heart of the gay village and has a nice outdoor seating for smoking. I had a great time there with my leather friends. The staff were nice and friendly and the prices were good for the drinks.. hopefully I'll be there again on my next visit to Manchester

Dead atmosphere, always empty. That’s why they have the windows covered all the time, like some festering condemned hoarders flat would have the curtains shut 24/7. The toilets absolutely reek and the smell is pushed into the drinking area with every waft of the closing door. There’s always those little flies circling in the middle of the room and it looks and smells like they’re never, ever cleaned. Last time I went there it was a very quiet Thursday night. There was a group of four of us waiting to start work so we thought we’d nip in for a quick drink as it was the middle of winter. The barman refused to serve us because one of the group was wearing these casual grey joggers for work. In response, I decided that mistake would cost them hundreds of pounds by me never returning, pretty easy really. They expect you to come out dressed like a dogs dinner on a quiet Thursday night before work but they won’t run a damp cloth round the toilets. Why give your money to such a place?
