SO, ON the back of the news the Old Town Hall will become a posh bar and restaurant, we have news of another drinking establishment opening.

Minshull Street has always felt a little out of the way when it come to the bar scene – with the Angel obviously propping it up.

So this new bar will be a little different to what is on that street.

While I do enjoy a nice tipple, I want to be able to browse the town centre and buy items – not just a pint of real ale and a pack of pork scratchings.

I hope we don't lose more shops to drinking establishments in the future.
