Last night, I found a little bit of my personal heaven right in the heart of Manchester.
Down below, a basement bar. But not just any old basement bar – it was themed around cult film and television. There’s a full-sized Dalek in the DJ booth. A glass cabinet by the bar with various spaceship models. Framed posters fill the walls – and the customers in the bar were a good mix of people. There’s even a pub quiz every Wednesday. I bet they serve Romulan ale behind the bar too…
And above it, just to make it heavenly, there’s a cheap Chinese buffet. So I can fill up with alcohol, geek TV and good times, and then nip upstairs for noodles afterwards.
Does it get any better than that?

Move to Auckland. Bars that good are all over the place.
And who’s this “almost witty” person. Have you republished your entire blog?!

“Almost” witty. Sometimes you overestimate yourself Andy
Sounds liek an excellent place. We’ll have to go for a lemonade there one evening.

Only slightly – the first apartment I lived in in America, I had a Mexican restaurant downstairs that I could get to without going outside, and it did happy hour every week night – $2 beers and free tacos. Plus I had my first American proposal of marriage in there.
