Introducing the Pipe & Slippers…

I can announces that we are closing down the Tiki Dive Bar and Caribbean Rum Shop after a year and a half of business to follow my new found passion and open a real ale pub.

In January there were rumours in the media suggesting we were looking to expand into the unit upstairs, previously inhabited by Starbucks.  We were then unable to confirm the details of the expansion as it took me a while to convince Ross and Jobe that this was the way to go but now we can reveal that the future for me is the Pipe and Slippers!

We had a great run, we’ve sold over 45k Zombies and to be honest I am tired of setting things on fire and partying all night.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m not giving up drinking, I’m just looking forward to moving at a difference pace from now on.  Watch this space for the date of the first Ale Society…

The refurbishment will be lead by original designer Paul Astill and the doors to the Pipe and Slippers are planned to open in time for summer. #fuckrumdrinkbeer!

Uncle Frank and Huey at The Liars Club

Uncle Frank smashed it when he played a special DJ set last Sunday after his gig with Huey and the New Yorkers at the Manchester Academy.  Huey came along too and we had a great big party!

Did you come along?  It was a top tiki night… who should we book next?

Frank Benbini from the Fun Lovin’ Criminals – Sunday 10th March

Stick’em up punk, it’s the Fun Lovin’ Criminal.

Leave the mother at home for the evening and get down to The Liars Club for a DJ set with Frank Benbini from the Fun Lovin’ Criminals. For one night only, Uncle Frank aka ‘The Rhythm Man’ will be taking to the decks for an evening of rum fuelled debauchery.

Get freaky as Frank lays down some funky reggae tunes along with FLC classics such as the Fun Lovin’ Criminals, Scooby Snacks and Korean Bodega.

The event will run from 5pm-4am, with Frank’s set straight after his gig with Huey at the Manchester Academy.

What’s more because we are amazingly nice, it’s free, free, free, all we ask is that you email us and let us know that you want to come along. You can do this by sending an email to tlc@downatthesocial.co.uk with the subject Happy Mother’s Day Punk!

Aloha and Happy New Year!

Ahhhhh…..and…..relax!!!

AT LAST the festive season is over – there has been people too drunk to speak, sick everywhere, unable to walk and that’s just the bar staff.

Seriously though it’s been a crazy couple of months. We have gained a lot of friends over Christmas and made a few enemies – this is never our intention, but when you have a team like ours at Liars we are always gonna rub a few people up the wrong way. It just happens some times that some people might not get our sense of humor – especially if they only come out once a year for a Christmas party!!!

Sadly we lost the longest serving member of the team Betsy our piranha who was in the building for 5 or 6 years. RIP Betsy.

Oh yeah – Jimbo left too – Oh well.

We have a load of exciting stuff happening here at Liars – loads of Rum Societies (St Lucia Rums, Rhum St Barth, Santa Teresa and Wray & Nephew in the next couple of months) happening – if you have never been to one then sort it out – you get free rum!!

Well that’s all i can manage to write for now - I’ve got an amazing daiquiri getting warm at the bar.
