If I could rate lower I would. As a female I have never felt so discriminated in my life. Whilst I was taking photos with my friend he rudely and aggressively approached myself and my friends and said “you’re not at home now love get off that sofa posing like you’re something”. Another a manager who had previously served us was very friendly and humble who seemed quite unsettled by his poor behaviour. Witnesses were present to this incident. We have proceeded to visit another bar and enjoy the night as it is my friends birthday where we will most certainly receive better treatment. Very poor management and interpersonal skills. I will not be returning to this bar. Avoid at all costs!!!

What a great night out! The music DJ was on point, busy with friendly customers and the bar staff had a joke with us too! We even had a "Goodnight, thanks for popping by" from the nice door staff. This is now one of my top 4 venues when visiting the gay-village. If you have been before, it's worth a visit.Service: 5/5

Been a regular for a long long time. The music is amazing, the DJ plays everything going and is always open to requests, can’t fault him at all as everything is accommodated for. The bar staff are friendly and helpful and not matter how busy it gets they are always polite. The door staff are friendly and do their job amazingly and make sure everyone is safe in the venue. If you want a good night out with cheap drinks and lots of fun and dancing then this is the place to go

Racist door policy, would never go back. My friends experienced racist profiling on the door, absolutely disgusting. The place was empty and they wouldn’t let them in because it was a “members only night” apparently, but everyone in our group who was white got in and we later asked if there really was a private event on and they said no, that it was open to all. We complained to management who didn’t make it clear how they would handle it and never spoke to the doorman in question. Unacceptable behaviour from an establishment.

We attended this bar last night. The treatment of two of my friends compared to the rest of us was an absolute disgrace. Two of my feiends had a problem getting in yet the rest of us with different colour skin got in absolutely no problem. The doorman even came over and apologised and its not good enough. Some of your staff are Racist and disrespectful. The doorman from 5th November needs to go through disciplinary action. Absolute disgrace and I'm very upset to witness friends experience this.

Bad Experience, avoid going here at all costs! My boyfriend and I ordered a pint of Amstel each. however it tasted off and I challenged this with the barstaff, who offered to pour it into a new glass. Surprise, surprise it still tasted off but I appreciated their efforts to try a resolve the situation. The manager then got involved and I challenged this with him. He blatantly refused to accept there was anything wrong with the beer and didn't offer a solution to try to resolve the matter. It wasn't like the beer was cheap either, at over £10 for two pints, we had to leave them on the side as if we continued to drink them,  I'm sure we would be ill. It was a complete waste of money and I feel I was taken advantage of. Despite this, we still had a good evening going to The Eagle Bar beforehand and ending the night in Company Bar - both of which, offered quality beer and great service. Shame The Thompson Arms couldn't do the same.

Been here for many years and always enjoyed my evening. Tonight however I saw the same bouncer on numerous occasions go to the toilets and jump to look into the cubicles  I appreciate he was doing his job and probably trying to catch customers taking drugs but surely this violates peoples privacy?  I think there must be better ways to deal with drug usage in bars than to spy on them in the bathroom…  It honestly makes me see the problem of bouncers in the village and the entitlement that goes with it

My friends had an awful experience of racism here which the doorman and management tried to cover up with lies about their door policy. After having seen other similar reviews, it seems this is a long-standing issue that management are ignoring rather than ensuring their bar is open and inclusive for all. Disgraceful.

I had an awful experience with a racist doorman who initally refused myself and my friend entry stating 'not tonight ladies, members only' despite our other white friends already being inside who were not from Manchester. When confronted he then claimed it because we were in a large group of three people, even though when questioning the manager as to whether they have a policy regarding large groups of 3 people I was told they had no such policy. Another manager also stated 'they weren't racist because they hired coloured people' which shows how ignorant and racist of an establishment this place is. I will never be returning and from other reviews management need to seriously look at who they're hiring.

The guy who I’m pretty sure is the owner threatened to kick me out. I’d just had massive domestic with my partner which the doorman got involved the doorman did he’s best but that man didn’t like the fact I was calling around look for somewhere to go trying to keep warm. He’s tall bald, fat, wears glass. No idea who he is full but disgusting man who wish absolutely worse on for your lack understanding on one the worse nights of my life.
