“Cheap drinks, good service, interesting decor and nice variety of music.”

A fun bar hidden away down some steps. Loads of sci-fi memorabilia. Totally different to anywhere you might have been before!

Went as a group (3 of us in our 50s and two in their late 20s). Great playlist. Enough different beers to suit our needs. Generally very friendly, open and inclusive. Loved geeking out over the exhibits but my sister was left agonising about where she had seen the big brown spaceship model/prop before that was hanging from the ceiling over the main floor area (if a staff member could elucidate we'd be ever so grateful). We'd have stayed longer but had quite a long list of other bars to visit over our relatively short stay.

Had so much fun here on Star Wars day! The bingo prizes were very generous - chocolate, sweets, crisps on offer for each line. And the cocktails I got were delicious and very reasonably priced especially for Manchester. The quiz was really fun and the atmosphere was friendly and chill. The bar manager / quiz host was really friendly and made us feel at home. I travelled in on the train to come here and so glad I did! Looking forward to coming back for another event!

Nice and quiet at 6pm on a Saturday. Feels genuinely niche. Amiga version of Pang on display is a nice nod to Manchester's game development scene in the pre-millenium. I'd like to sot here and quietly drink until I die because I'm depressed and that thought scares me which why I'm leaving but I think that says a lot about the good vibes here.
