HERE at ToM we were obviously delighted at the announced rebirth of Odd Bar as Folk & Soul that we quite forgot its former stablemate round the corner, The Blue Pig, was still languishing in limbo after the Odd Group’s liquidation.
Good news on this front for the one of the city’s loveliest bar spaces. It’s due to reopen, with the lightest of refurbs, in April but first comes its Easter resurrection as the Pop Up Pig, a four day party with drinks, DJs and dancing from Maundy Thursday onwards.
The Pig’s bacon was saved by Mark Andrews’ hyperactive MAD group, no strangers to the NQ. On it return expect its tried and tested formula of classic cocktails and awesome roasts
Pop Up Pig, Thu Mar 29-Sun Apr 1, The Blue Pig, 69 High Street, Manchester M4 1FS. @PopUpPigMcR
