Never been in there , what's it like ?

Bloody hell. Haven’t been in there for 20 years but that and the Salisbury were proper bikers / rock pub in the 80’s and 90’s.
Remember Grand Central under another name and it had Manchester’s first video jukebox in 84. Went in there to watch Frankie Goes To Hollywood and Michael Jackson videos lol

How bizarre. I am currently enjoying a pint with Arthur, the bass player for 999. Meet up with him once a month. They have just recorded a version of She Was Just 17 for a compilation. Very good

Not been in there for donkeys years...you've got me pondering now as we already have tickets for Sanctum Sanctorium at the Academy...but will be drinking on Charles Street beforehand. Decisions, decisions. :)

Shady Lady?

I just googled it on Wiki and this came up though I don’t recall that name!

First-hand accounts recall 80 Oxford Street being known as 'The Oxford Wine Bar' in 1953, and later in 1960 as simply 'The Oxford'. In 1970 it became the 'Beef & Barley',[10] a Steak House, and a year later in 1971 'A Schooner Inn' was added to the 'Beef and Barley' pub sign.[11] Between 1977 and 1978 it was known as the 'Cork & Screw' and it became 'The Shady Lady'[12] in the late 1970s.
