    Were you ever in the Manchester Bar Srameen?

    I can't place it. What era was it. My drinking days in town ran from early 60s to 80s mostly

    Way the wrong end of town for me. I was in Shevlins Horse shoe bar a few times and the nest but not much else down that end.

    Yes! The arc ! I totally forgot that though it was my hay day too. The ark and silence .... awful names for a nightclub

    Sgt Peppers for a bit too, the only difference between them was the crazy coloured wooden guitar shape cut outs stuck on the walls. Was to be a live music job but they only seemed to have some ABBA tribute band on - it was like a residency!!? Was in Tivolis once (with fake ID:o) before it was all changed. You could have played tennis on the dancefloor it was that big and was some change. All up for sale for a mere €1.2mil, crazy that a pokey bar on Bridge St was going for that money a few years ago compared to a hotel and nightclub bang in the centre of town today.

    Does anyone know what the Phoenix was like originally? I remember it being closed for years late 80's early 90's I think. Also who owned it and refurbished it?

    The Phoenix. Empty Kerleys. Rita and her mother behind the bar. 2 customers at most in the place. Small, with fabulous mahogany paneled walls. In the 70s that was.

    McCourts, Long Walk near China Bridge. A dump.
