Whilst I agree that the tunes in this bar are great and create a highly enjoyable atmosphere, I have been on two separate occasions and found it quite uncomfortable. Firstly, went on New Year''s Eve and as a person with mild arthritis in my hip, I found it difficult, at first, to sit comfortably and safely on the high bar stools. As I struggled to get on the stools, one of the bar staff wrongly assumed I was drunk and I was asked to leave the bar because, I was told, I was too drunk. No consideration was made of my explanations.

I have further been this evening, a quiet Thursday and, firstly, as has been mentioned, this is an underground bar. The steps down are quite steep and the first four or five only have a rope banister to support balance on the way down. I felt quite unnerved on the way down. Once inside the bar, I again had the similar issues of trying to sit down on the high bar stools. It is disappointing that there is no lower option of seating. Whilst I do not at all consider myself disabled with only mild arthritis, this visit showed that this was not at all a disable-friendly venue.

This visit was finally ruined by the air conditioning which was set far too high. Considering it is in Manchester, it was warmer stepping outside in the rain than sat inside the bar. It is a shame this bar was so uncomfortable because, as previously mentioned, the music is fun, albeit a little repetitive, the atmosphere is great and the prices...

We popped in here last night for a few drinks. There was an "ACT" on, which we weren't aware of before hand.

We weren't exceptionally loud but yes, we were talking whilst drinking our overly expensive drinks.

The lady from the door came down and said people had complained and could be quieter during the 2nd half of the performance. We apologised and agreed that we would make every effort to not make excessive noise whilst they were on.

Then before they act came back out, the barman came over and said the "act" were not comfortable coming back on while we were in the bar. And asked us to leave.

The act was dreadful anyway, but that said, we didn't make a lot of noise during their performance. We were not drunk and are not rude so gave them the respect they deserved. But they really weren't up to much.

This bar is the most expensive the in Canal Street and for some reason they think that just because they rip people off, that they can also treat them badly. Well they can't.

They are outrageously pretentious. This bar is nothing special and they have no right to treat people the way they do.

I wouldn't go here again if you paid me. A dreadful place and a dreadful experience.

The only positive I could say is that the lady on the door was extremely pleasant when she spoke to us. Not the usual heavy handed manner that some of the door staff tend to have.

All in all, A GREAT PLACE...
