thanks carl, might check it out.

Alchemist on New York St (Manchester) is cool. A lot better that its sister in Spinningfields. My ultimate new date place now. Shame I was by myself this time around

There’s been a lot of new openings recently, but none as yet take my fancy. Initially Gorilla was good but on the second visit, seems the staff are there just to high five each other and prioritise service for friends and colleagues of the other chains lending to a bit of a dickhead vibe. Can’t wait though for the two new bowling bars to open to open up and offer something different that Manchester has previously lacked.

Went to Tusk next to Walrus YLAup, cocktails are awesome but its a very weird layout and just too small. £8 a drink as well. Was hoping Gorilla would be good not been there yet, small gin place few doors down as well now isnt there?

Remember something like that when I was a student. Long time ago now. Also, I don't think our laws would allow that sort of thing. They're looking at bringing in new pound per unit pricing laws, sure I read that somewhere.

Yeah we had that in the union at Dundee at the end of each term, pretty sure they used to it to get rid of random stuff they had behind the bar.

Was always good fun, mass stampedes to the bar for Dubonnet and lemonade

^ Went there too, think the name was BierBorse!

Ye Olde Cheshire cheese is a great old place if you like Dickin's … lulz

Any recommended places in mayfair on a tues ? Nice old school pubs or swank bars ?

any decent pubs/bars nearish to bethnal green? pre drinks before dj harvey gig

cheers Alan will give it a go

Any decent pubs/bars down by Selfridges/central way which won't be overly busy/rape prices? Never drink down that way.
