Slacker bars.

Name: Common Bar

Address: Edge Street, Manchester

Location notes: deep in the Northern Quarter. Nuff said. 

Decor: long benches and booths, chipboard DIY feel bar and photos above the bar of John Peel, Leslie Neilson, John Candy, Patrick Swayze and others: a seemingly mismatched bunch of famous dead people. Common’s not very common decor-wise. 

What we had: Twin Peaks IPA, Bloody Mary (Fucking excellent BM actually, second only to Happiness Forgets in Hoxton). 

Vibe: tucked down a side street so you feel like you’ve discovered a really good secret place. 

Anything else: lots and lots of beers and  the espresso martini looked like a treat although it’s difficult to choose anything other than the Bloody Mary.
