More festive news, this time alcohol-related (bravo!). A new bar has sprung up next to Urbis in central Manchester, and is described as the city's first "pop-up" bar and restaurant - in other words, it's in a marquee, and it's temporary. The bar has a capacity of 300, and will serve suitably wintery cocktails (mulled wine, anyone?) as well as a comfort food-laden menu specially created by top chef Robert Owen Brown. The food is great value, with stews costing just £4.95, and you can choose from the following rather mouth-watering options:
- chicken with slow-roasted tomatoes
- bacon and wild mushroom
- garlic and rosemary spiked mutton with jerusalem artichoke
- slow braised beef with caramelised onions and Guinness (this one gets my vote)
- creamy chicken, tarragon and leek
- vension with claret and juniper
A vegetarian option - winter vegetables and barley with Cheshire cheese dumplings - is available at £3.95.
The bar is open until New Year's Eve.

I don't think this place was that great.
Thought this review was more honest.
