Named after the hero of the Victorian novel the Manchester Man, countless former students will have fond, if slightly hazy, memories of one lost legendary night-spot.
Jabez Clegg on Portsmouth Street in Manchester was a mainstay of the student party scene for over 20-years. Opening in 1991, it sat directly opposite the student union and attracted huge crowds every weekend for gigs, comedy and club nights.
The likes of the Arctic Monkeys, Pete Doherty and Jack Whitehall all graced its stage over the years. Situated in the heart of Manchester's student community, it was a popular hangout for catching up with classmates over a beer or cocktails (Green Monster or Cheeky Vimto anyone?).
