Katsoris Deli on the corner of Deansgate and John Dalton Street is a fantastic place, and there breakfasts are spotty dog IMHO..

Manchester city centre - pub for booze and somewhere for breakfast?

I took Lisa and her sis/bro into the Marble. Their faces looked like they had been slapped.

For breakfast I would recommend either Antonio's on the approach to Picadilly station for a dirty, greasy fry-up; or RetroBar on the former UMIST campus for a less dirty but equally greasy fry-up. The latter comes with unlimited tea or coffee.
The Retro bar is fairly dirty/greasy in IME. Last time we went in there for breakfast a 6' transvestite and his friend sat right next to us despite there being many other vacant tables in there. This is not connected to the dirty/greasy comment but was none the less a little unsettling

Retro bar is bloody awful, I don't know what the fuss is about. Yes, it's retro - it's your typical mid 80s estate boozer. Awful decor and awful drinks, the only bitter on tap was john smiths or something

Got to be the marble! plus the angel is just down the road and also fringe. All sell good ale

Oh, and the best pub by Piccadilly is the Bull's Head. In fact, it's the only decent boozer by the train station. Go down the escalators to the tram, straight out the sneaky door to the left, over the road and you're there. I reckon if your train was leaving on the hour you could be finishing your pint at 5 to. Decent ales too, if a bit pricey.

Oh, and forgot about the Port Street Beer House, near Piccadilly station towards Ancoats, less than 5 mins from the station. The best selection of beers in Manchester by a mile, a bit poncey, a bit pricey, but better than the other Northern Quarter bars/pubs. Worth a look fo sho, bro.

Is that on the corner adjacent to the working girls? I thought it was a mental pub??
Anyone fancy an urban exploration of the old station?

Koffee pot - Northen Quarter for greasy breakfast?
Nursed many a hangover etc in there after being out all night. You might even meet a muso or two, indeed some have even signed the walls- its that kind of place!

Maybe not a sexy option but Wetherspoons always ticked my box when I stay in Brighton.

Nah hora, I think the pub you mean is the Star and Gather, it's more of a club these days though. The Morrissey Smiths disco is good, if you like hanging around with fey indie boys and girls. And if you dont pull there, then the working girls may oblige outside.

No idea about pubs, but Harvey Nicks for breakfast, surely

You lot are getting old. If I stay in a hotel, its sweet sweet loving and the first thing I eat is lunch.

how did it go? DId Hora turn up? Did he buy drinks for anyone / everyone?

It went well, The City Arms was indeed a perfect pre-Revolution pub. And, for that matter, post-Revolution too. We even got some free sandwiches and chicken drumsticks from the birthday do that was on next door
Hora did show, I bought him a drink. It's fine though, I'm sure he'll buy me one back...
Kro for breakfast was less successful (sorry Coot). They seem to (eventually) serve their (cold) veggie cooked breakfasts with, well, bacon...

Christ! I've just read Hora's last post. I've just been a little bit sick
Amazingly, Hora did turn up. But, of course he didn't buy anyone drinks. He never does. Ever. Though on this occasion as it was a quick couple, and not a rounds situation, we'll let him off. Well... when I say he was there. He was there in body. He sat there and fiddled constantly with his phone like a 14 year old schoolgirl, then showed us what he's just bought from Urban Outfitters in the Arndale. All that was missing was for him to contract chlamydia!
Great to see IHN and Mrs IHN though

Did he sort out his 'troubles' in the end? Will it be an interestting morning at work for him this morning?
Oh, and for clarity, it's not strictly MrsIHN, it's IHN'ssoontobecohabitee.
Revolution was good too, will deffo be back again.
