Man hurt in shooting at city pub
A 25-year-old man has undergone emergency surgery after a shooting in Greater Manchester.
The 25-year-old man, who was wounded in his leg and stomach, was targeted in the Arch Bar on Stretford Road in Hulme just before 1700 BST.
Police patrols have been stepped up in the area.

On the good side - an abundance of characters, attractive bar staff, good food, never boring, good pint of Grolsch, open late. Bad side - empty and bare during the day, pool room particularly threatening, dirty sofas, toilets have no bog roll or locks, local nasties/scallies seem to have free licence to waltz in and wander about looking menacing without buying anything, like the wild west on a sunday afternoon, girlfriend guaranteed to get hassled if you leave her to go to the bog, be prepared to 'lend' at least 5 fags on a night out.

Nice roof terrace, modern decor. Nice local.
Some nights can be a bit 'moody' but in general a good mix of people.
Decent beer

suck your teeth and throw your head back and you will feel at home. moody at the weekend and madness on a bank holiday - but despite the slightly mood atmosphere a good place for a drink after 11

cool bar, music to match. dont be put off by location - but maybe leave in a group or a taxi if you're a bit worse for wear. Alternatively walk home near the students(whose accomodation is all round here)- they're usually a much easier target than yourself to the locals ;-)

pretty good inside, i reckon it will excellent in the summer when you can sit on the terrace. looks expensive inside but it isnt.

1 year old tomorrow (2003-08-14). Purple tiled, very modern but quite pleasant.
