The cocktail menu is in the shape of vinyl at The Liquor Store, which a bar hidden below street level on The Parsonage. Its music selection is stuck in the 1980s whenever I have been there. That's ok for a short burst of nostalgia and The Smiths et al concert posters add to the time warp feel, with a local Mancunian flavour.
But otherwise it is very 21st Century in many positive ways, the chilled ambience, the mock Bansksy, wittily titled "Mancsy" and the opening hours. I have yet to check the food menu, will one day, maybe lunch...
Sounds fab Chrissy but a 60's early 70's soundtrack would have been better :)
ReplyDeleteSurely way before your time Grace ;-)
DeleteJust this element of it does feel like a throwback. It depends on what music in the eighties gets played, of course. Some of it's good... and other stuff is, well...fingernails on a blackboard.
ReplyDeleteMostly good indie type and pop cross over stuff, and a lot of Manchester bands- Joy Division etc. I fear I have heard some dreadful disco and dire anthems by bands such as Queen but I may have been having a cocktail-induced nightmare...
DeleteInteresting looking place, or should I say joint?!
