Not as retro as it sounds...
'Cord'...a word that can conjure up disturbing memories of seventies outfits or take you back to the attire of your student days. True, cord bar is in fact decked out in tasteful brown cord throughout, but the place is pretty hip and offers a great atmosphere for meeting up with friends, tucked away in Manchester's northern quarter. A good choice of drinks at the bar is coupled with a well-stocked juke box, which allows regulars to store their favourite tunes and often plays music from up and coming Manchester bands. Seating is arranged into booths for a more intimate feel, although this ain't so great if the bar is busy as you'll struggle to get a seat.
