Manchester’s nightlife really has it all — from the mega-clubs, side-street speakeasies, and bustling bars, the city serves residents and visitors alike well for their choice of watering hole.
And that range of choice is nothing new. As anyone familiar with the city centre’s pub can tell you, there are Tudor buildings which have housed some of Manchester’s best boozers, Victorian venues which have entertained audiences for more than a century, and historic alehouses where punters have supped on a warm pint by a fire.
Within those pubs are thousands of stories, which are now being unearthed by Andy Mercer — a tour guide for Invisible Manchester. Andy knows the city well from his younger days, when he would ‘stagger’ through town in the early-mid-90s on one of his infamous rock ‘n’ roll pub tours.
