Yeah, it became a cabaret bar towards the end of its existence. A few decent bands also played there. Before that it was just the usual old blokes, alcoholics and bus drivers who had finished their shift at the Arndale bus station.

Only went in once and it was full of nutjobs. I was only 18ish so it may have been gone for near 30 years.
Not having you's all calling the Tom Thumb either :D
A few more for you:
The Eager Poet - Giffard Park in MK - rough as arseholes
The Barleycorn - Didsbury - shit pub, not rough just shit
The Bricklayers Arms - Ordsall Lane - rough and shit.
Kicks - Piccadilly - rotten
What was that one near the Royal Exchange in the Arcade? Was it Gemstones or summat? Another shitter!

Just down from Brannigans was the Conservatory. You could take a lady friend in there if you were that way inclined.

Spent many a drunken night in that pub.Brilliant place
Since first going in 3 months ago Mother Mac's is quickly becoming a favourite pace of mine. A proper boozer
Also a special mention goes to The Pike Fold(now departed) in Blackley as that was the first pub i started drinking in
