Bar Pub Gay bar

😠 Oh dear! Not the place it was before lockdown. £2 entrance charge is avaricious. Nobody else in town, or anywhere else is doing this door tax. Was expecting a wonderful post covid experience, but all I got were jobsworths! GO ELSEWHERE!! People often mention night, drinks,

    NOVA GINA TOUCHED ME... in a way that I've never been touched before... In my heart. Fantastic venue and a lot of fun. One of the bartenders here, Danielle, is one of the best bartenders I've ever had the pleasure to be served by. Drinks are reasonably priced

    Prices are good, I would say - kind of lowest than in the other bars. I don't think the drinks are special, just basic, but really nice and there is no more ice than drink in the cups. I really like the idea of drag queens walking around and selling vodka shots for one pound - every time I have a possibility I am taking one of it. The shots are basic too, but the fact that they are selling them this way is making me like them a little bit more. Staff is nice and helpful when it comes to choosing something so they definitely knows what they are talking about. The positive energy of drag queens while their shows and before or after them is the best thing there. They are really nice and friendly, their contact with the other people is very good and always makes me feel special and a little bit more confident. I love their style of being there and I really appreciate what they are doing. People here are acting ok and I've never seen any situation that would make me feel in danger, even if everyone is drinking. What I don't like is a carpet on the floor - I know it sound weird but it is really disgusting for me. People are spilling their drinks on the floor because the place is small and usually crowded and when I am walking there in sandals I can feel the mixture of everything that was soaked by this carpet on my feet. I was there many times but now when I need to pay for the entry I just stopped going there. When I was there just before pandemic situation I couldn't pay by card which was problematic and many times I resigned from going there just because I didn't had any cash with me. They told us there are no shows and nothing special is happening - and what I should pay for then? This is a one big joke for me.

    Very accommodating to wheelchair users,had a fab night,great atmosphere, friendly bar staff,large smoking area,music and humour great(watched half of the pub do the conga) only downside I could find was no disabled toilet,altho the locals guided me into the toilet and couldn't do enough to help me ,it's more than a pub it's a community atmosphere, drinks are reasonably priced and for the atmosphere I.didnt mind paying the £2 to get in ,thanks for a lovely night and I will be back in soon 😁

    Wow, what a great night we had in The Sun. We were a large group of out of towners - mixed gay & straight. We felt at ease from the minute we walked in. Awesome DJs, danceable tunes all night. Lovely bar staff. The best value rounds of drinks EVER. And a friendly crowd who just absorbed us into their midst like we were regulars. A night to remember! ❤

    Came here for the drag comedy night cause website advertised it, but when there staff told me it’s been canceled until October …. Wasted night

  • 4/5 Rick B. 2 years ago on Google
    Usually quiet midweek but busy at weekends. Sometimes have cheaper drinks prices before 8:00pm.

    Meant to be a safe place for free minded people. Wouldn't reccomend at all, maybe as a last resort but has nothing on even the worst bars in Manchester

    A really fun bar - cheap drinks and the drag doing the kareoke was brilliant. Would definitely return.
