Plans for a new dive bar inspired by the rebellious rock n' roll legend Johnny Cash have been revealed for Manchester's Northern Quarter.
A number of Leeds-born concepts have landed in the city in recent years, and now an application from the operators behind the Mean-Eyed Cat based in Leeds City centre has been submitted to Manchester City Council.
The application proposes to take over the basement and ground floor space at 60 Oldham Street - the former home of District, a Thai-inspired barbecue spot. Last September, the Michelin-recommended eatery announced that due to 'extreme economical pain' it would scale back its food offer and focus on a drink and snacks menu from November.
