To save pissing about and potentially getting lost, as Twisty said, get a taxi, will only cost about 4 quid and there's plenty of pubs around the venue, which itself, it really bad for getting served quickly but otherwise is a great venue.

Jesus wept. A taxi! To the f'king Academy. B*gger me, it's no wonder the fat-disease is stalking everyone. WALK out of front door of station WALK up past bus stops to Big Square (about 100 yards) TURN LEFT WALK to Oxford Road (I make it 5th left, but there is a sign) TURN LEFT WALK about a mile It's on your right, big funny shaped building (if you come to a park on your right, turn around, you've missed it!) Many many pubs along the way ... Do drop in under the arches for me (pub down a bit and opposite from the BBC) ... Shockingly I can't remember the name of the pub!!! (and I spent half my time as a student in there ... someone help me out!!!) ... a taxi to the academy, jesus ... you'll want buses to the Brit next ... ah |

Lass o gowrie - once good pub, but now a trendy wine bar (well, it was the last time I was in that part of the world?) and it is "around the corner from the BBC". The thirsty scholar - Never heard of this one ... though it might be a rename of somewhere I did know (I'm extremely owld yer see!) The pub I am thinking of is on Oxford Road, on the "cobbles" and "underneath" Oxford Road station, the entrance faces along Oxford Road, towards the BBC ... there is another pub/club almost right next to it, that faces onto Oxford road (which might be the Scholar?) ... and NOTE: all that should read "there used to be" You can get a train from picc to oxford road ... A top piece of advice ... forgot about that, well done that poster/person! ah |

Fuck a taxi, fuck walking, come out of the train station and walk about five minutes to Piccadilly bus station and get the Magic Bus, it's only 80p! If you fancy a kebab on the way out don't go to Abdul's, go to Gemini, you might see me in there cause I'm a fat bastard and go there for tea every night!  The Oxford across the road from the Academy does a cracking John Smith's as well. |

The Scholar wasn't a pub when I was in machester, I do believe it was a record shop!!!!? Magic-Bus, damn forgot about them (we did have them, waaaaaaaaaaaaay back when) The Oxford - Full of posh university types, when I were a lad Kebabs ... How very dare you ... Abdul's was the place to go and get food poisoning ... you could get a HUGE nan-bread donner for 99p with an NUS card, food poisoning came free shortly afterwards. They also did the worst "deep-fried" pizza in the city, £1.50 for a car-wheel, it was soooo sloppy it used to work its way through the box before you could eat it ... Ahhhhhhhhhh, stoodent life ... ah |
