Featured - Whats on Tuesday?

Dont flamin' well sit at home and watch endless re-runs of Reality TV! Get out and get some action! Make Tuesday's an event to remember and get your backsides down here to the Thirsty Scholar for TUESDAY TONY PRESENTS! You could do a hell of a lot worse than have a few beers at happy hour prices then kick back till 8pm when Tuesday Tony Presents, showcases the best live acts this side of Manchester.

Featured - Whats goin' on upstairs? In my case, not a lot. In the case of any celebrity heiress, even less. However, if you were asking what the heck is going on in the World famous Attic Night Club then where should we start? Well apart from that clever gizmo they use to electrify tins of Guiness, (and that thing for opening bottles of alcopops - whats it called?) they have some Crazy Autumn Specials comin' up and a load of other exclusives, too many to list here so we suggest you go here for update.....

Veggie & Vegan pub grub

We now serve a wide selection of vegetarian and vegan pub grub! Not hungry? We also have a selection of organic ciders and beers and vegan wine! Classic British pub grub and world food from ciabatta toasties to Jamaican curry and Tex Mex. If your mooching around Oxford Road at lunch time we urge you to come on in and try out Special Pop Cafe all day Breakfast!

What people have said about our food! Manchester now has an all vegetarian city centre pub! The Chef from the much missed Mod Pop cafe is now the chef here and the veggie and vegan food has completely taken over the menu with a meat free kitchen, they dont even sell beef crisps anymore. You can see all our menu's here!
