Colourful Drinking Establishments

[honkytonkman187]

Monroe's near Piccadilly used to be called the Nip and Tipple.
The sign outside was of a barmaid with jutty nips on show.

When was this?

We've established it was called The White Hart immediately before Monroes.

There is a Nip and Tipple in Whalley Range.

into the mid 80's - I remember smirking to myself as a kid, going past the place on the bus into town, once I realised the importance of tits, and that not every pub had a bird with her tits out for its sign.

Great thread.

Another potty estate pub was the Malt in Cheadle. Sadly now closed. The smoking ban was ignored in there and the vault just stunk of weed. You had a choice of ales though, you could have Stella in pints or halfs.

I met a girl on a blind date in there once, she brought her 5 year old kid with her ffs.

Is this how it ended up Andy?

I hope the oik was ejected from said establishment?

We can't have scruffs like that ruining the Green and it's environs!

I've just had confirmation from @Pubs_of-Mcr on Twitter about Monroes being called the Nip and Tipple. He hasn't got round to writing up a report on the place yet:

That was probably the first pub I ever went in. My grandad lived on Merseybank and used to work there. I vaguely remember him taking me in there a couple of times when I was proper little.

Just thinking now of where his nearest pub would be. There ain't one within a decent walking distance from that end of Merseybank, still open.
