Formerly known as Via Fosse, this bar on Canal Street in Manchester, proved to be a great place to relax, unwind and have a drink while people watching with our friends on Saturday. A gay bar that is straight friendly, it is best described as Adams Family meets Changing Rooms with its bright colours and Gothic styling. Situated over three floors, there are lots of small nooks and crannies to chill out in. On the lower floor we sat in very comfortable sofas while watching the energetic happenings up on the ground floor. Watch out for the toilets; not the cleanest but supervised by someone who makes you feel guilty if you don’t fork out a £1 per visit. The owner is a sixty odd year old guy who can often be found manning the door.
We recommend you get there early as it does get very busy later on and the bouncers don’t look like the type you argue with. We had a great time in the place though; it had a nice safe warm and welcoming atmosphere. Give it a go.
