The staff are polite. That aside, this is a ghastly theme pub. What the point of these 'Scream' bars are simply escapes me. Cheap and cheerless. More fun scraping up piss-head puke outside the kebab shops.

Quite what the point is of having this place virtually opposite another, more appealing and more spacious scream pub (The Footage) escapes me. It's alright, and in truth it's rarely as packed as the aforementioned place, but it's no different to any other scream pub and easy to miss if you didn't know it was there. It's alright though.

I've only ever been here once. Really studenty, which meant rank cheap lager served in plastic cups. Good music at tangled but really hot and you get that strange black stuff all over your shoes and jeans (what is that?). Night was cut short as the bouncer got shot and we had to be evacuated through the music college next door.

The pub is pretty crap. Drinks are ok, staff ok. Club upstairs is decent on a saturday (Tangled)
Not my ideal venue

very average, bad music played too loud. but it is good for watching sport. beer is also of average quality for an average pint

Last time I went in there was a bloke slumped over the bar who proceeded to go and use the ladies, I was constantly asked to produce a student discount card which I didn't have and the beer wasn't brialliant.
Still it's somewhere to stop on the way up to the Academy/University where the beer's cheaper and they do have a large screen for sport

Brilliant club venue.. top DJs first friday of the month, every month play music that's a bit off the mainstream.

Haven't been in for a while. It always used to have annoyingly loud dance music being played at the weekends. Loads of TVs, fruities and stuff. This isn't the Real Phoenix, no matter what they try to tell you :)

Scream Burgers made me fat, I intend to sue.

this is the pub below. the phoenix itself isn't included cos it's never bloody open when i'm in manchester.

This was never Barny McGrews - the pub below it was. This has always been called the Phoenix! Get it right!
