Mod's Veggie & Vegan Cafe At The Thirsty Scholar

Love it, Saturday night DJ doing his thing, spinning the vinyl and getting his groove on. Plenty of bar staff, so no long wait at the bar and friendly too. Only had a little dance this time because it was busy, had a good long dance the time before because it was very late and near closing so more space. Just to stave off any misunderstanding, there's no actual dance floor as such, but there's no way you can stay still with those tunes on. A Manchester diamond

It's a Saturday night...I've seen Argyle beat Bolton and now we are out on the town seeking real ale pubs miles away from the stag and hen nights prevalent across most of Manchester. And this one fits the bill. Situated underneath the Oxford Road railway station Bridge this place has an unusual unique setting and delivers an alternative to the Salisbury heavy rock pub next door. A DJ.......probably as old as me.....is banging out some excellent music which hits all the right notes....and as a man who loves his music...I am quite jealous of his acumen. Good beer, good atmosphere...a lot more students....but the music just makes you want to get up and dance....yyyeeeaaah!!
