Tucked away in a corner of deepest Salford is an oasis of calm, inspired by the hidden riad gardens of Morocco. In fact, you wouldn’t even know that the Adelphi Lads Club was there - with its blank sign, bolted to the wall on a quiet residential street.
But this could well be one of the hits of the summer. Head up the alleyway off North George Street, around a corner, past the metal fences and the out of control foliage, and you’re into a dim brick corridor, with only some spooky graffiti for company.
Once inside, it all starts to make a bit more sense. Through some heavy plastic butcher curtains, and the main bar opens up in front of you.
