Monroes always used to put you in the room on the right if you didn't look gay, I think Danny La Rue and Foo Foo Lamar were on the walls 18/20 years ago. The beer wasn't great so didn't go in often.100% agree. We found our “place” with Monroes in town. Then, Covid and it changed to some gay cocktail bar. Chacun a son goût and all that but it wasn’t for me and my lad.
We know booze in Fallowfield before the game and after and we’re on minibus with great lads / lasses for every game. Love it.

May be due to going in with women.I drank in there for 30 years mate and they never put me in the room on the right ( The Boudoir as Michael liked to call it )
Either I’m gay or there was another reason he didn’t want you in with the general population.
Michael was an absolute gentleman and gentle man. It was like “going home” walking in there.,I drank in there for 30 years mate and they never put me in the room on the right ( The Boudoir as Michael liked to call it )

There was a cracking little pub near the junction of upper Lloyd Street and Great western street, set back in the estate. Was it called the Abbey or something like that?Are you sure it’s not the Lord Lyon

The Sherwood is now a kebab houseSounds like the lord Lyon on a corner , just short of the Sherwood across the road but a tad further up the rd....
Actually I've no idea if either of those boozers are still open.
Last time I went round that area was for a drink in the Albert,day after We won the league under Mancini.i was determined to celebrate back at 'Maine Rd'
Happy Days.

Wish I hadn’t read that. I could murder a kebab right about now.The Sherwood is now a kebab house
Sounds like the Gardners or the Osbourne to me.There are many older blues who would return in a flash if they could and I am one of them. If I had one football we ish it would be to walk up the Kippax steps and sing my heart out. Alas
Here's a question I've asked several times but never got the answer. If you walked out of the Kippax towards the junior school on the left of it 100 yards or so past there was a Wilson pub on the corner I'd drink in now and again. Do you know name?
