Bernard Manning's Embassy Club has had its licence temporarily suspended following a fight last Friday in which two customers were attacked with a knife.
The premises off Rochdale Road in Harpurhey will not be allowed to operate until a full licensing review is heard by a Manchester council panel next month. It comes after one customer was cut across the face and another had his hands slashed by a 'hostile' man who had been refused entry to the pub.
An incident report had stated that the offender also slashed the bouncer's cheek, but police have now said that the doorman was punched, not attacked with a knife. In a statement to police after the incident, door staff said that two men had been refused entry to the pub – but they were overruled by the bar manager.
