The crew behind bars like Bunny Jacksons and chaotic pizza establishment Crazy Pedro’s are to revive a favourite Northern Quarter haunt. Liquor & Burn on High Street is being extended into the next door unit, where the Convenience Store bar was, and will re-open for business this weekend.
Also planned is a new ‘upscale’ bar upstairs, in the unit formerly housing the original Almost Famous burger bar, and a potential ‘pop-up’ revival of the infamous tiki bar Keko Moku. “That building, I think, is the coolest spot in the Northern Quarter,” Liquor & Burn’s new owner Lyndon Higginson told the Manchester Evening News.
Higginson is involved with all manner of bars across the city, from Bunny Jacksons and sister bar Junior Jacksons, the dive bar on Oldham Street, to other projects like Pedro’s, The Liars Club and Junkyard Golf. However, he started his career as the bar manager of Keko Moku, back in the early 2000s.
