I have been trying to think of the name of my favourite bar all day today and keep drawing a blank. It is a pub, quite old, on Canal St. in Manchester. Been to it many times, usually left a bit tipsy - perhaps that is why I can't remember it.
I remembered it is the Rembrandt.
Second place goes to one in SYD, but I was sooo drunk (it was Mardi-Gras), I can't for the life of me remember the name. Spent lots of time there over the week. It was near a corner, Oxford St. of course, the front of it was a long bar that you stood at and watched the butts go by on the street. There was an upstairs as well. (guess the memory is starting to go)
