What’s the best thing about living in Manchester?
Manchester is filled with good people. They're sarcastic, smart and aren't afraid of spending their last pound on a night out because, thanks to it being smaller than some cities, you can always walk home. There's a lot to love about this city.
Favourite bar in Manchester:
At the moment, Terrace is a favourite haunt, but I'll always have a fondness for TrofNQ and the Odd family. Both these bars have really, really great staff too.
Favourite pub in Manchester:
If the King's Arms wandered over the Salford border, it'd be a dead-cert. As it isn't, The Briton's Protection is one of the greatest pubs in the world.
Favourite club or club night in Manchester:
As I'm unbiased and bashful, I'll say Block Party, Pop! at Deaf Institute and Freek'n at Terrace because I play at them. Elsewhere, Gold Teeth is stupidly good fun and any night that features Dance Lady Dance.
Secret tip:
The Blue Pig is serving some of the best food in Manchester and they have an incredibly well-stocked bar. A real underrated gem.
