Manchester's
artistic Northern Quarter, is one of the most exciting areas
of the city. In a place where rock stars mingle with fans
don't be surprised to bump into the likes of Huey from Fun
Lovin' Criminals, Damon Gough (a.k.a. Badly
Drawn Boy) or the lads from New
Order in the queue at the bar for your Boddies.
Oh, and then of course, there's the live music from some
of Manchester's biggest bands...

| The
place where it all started in 1989. Designed by Haçienda
architect, Ben Kelly, Dry Bar set the standard for bars
all around the UK to follow. Originally called Dry 201 in
the days New
Order owned it (FAC201 being Factory
Records catalogue number for the establishment). A place
where you'll catch all the best Manc DJ's, Liam
Gallagher and Shaun
Ryder remained barred. Shaun infamously fired a gun
in here during a meeting with Tony Wilson (as documented
in the 24
Hour Party People film). |
