Pulp Pop-Up Pub

What are people's thoughts on this? Sounds exciting.

Going to head there on the Sat afternoon with my eldest - hoping there might be a gig from them potentially, but I'm thinking it's more likely it'll end up being a DJ set late that night?

Sounds like fun. I'm popping in on Friday afternoon when I arrive in Manchester

I just wanna see Sickly Grin Caff edition in the flesh and covet it so.

I'm prob going to pop in this afternoon for a bit, if it's not too rammed.

It was queuing round the block and queue didn't seem to be moving, so couldn't be arsed. Shame, may pop in tomorrow on way home - if anyone goes, let us know if it's worth the trip!

Murder walking round the block, ending up in King's Cross... well Piccadilly Gardens. Feck that!

This is the unique merch apparently

There's a video on Instagram doing a quick tour of the pop-up and it looked pretty mint, old Intro/,His'n'Hers posters on the wall, assorted memorabilia etc.

Based on the interest in Manchester and the long queues in the rain to get in, hopefully they consider taking the pop-up idea on the road when the film comes out next month.

After saying I wouldn't queue, I did (in pouring rain).

Not sure could 100% justify the hour-plus queue and we got there about 1215 so not long after it opened.

Still, was great to enjoy for a while, loads of posters up and goodies to buy.

Fyi - the upstairs bar wasn't handing out the Pulp cups (so ended up buying a second drink - though staff member gave husband a cup for free as he didn't want another).

Lovely atmosphere inside. Def worth a look if you have the time.

Were any of Jarv/Nick/Mark's books on sale?

[ChasingNewspapers]

Yes they were - Mark's and Good Pop Bad Pop. Some 2023 t-shirts for a tenner. Didn't see anything signed on sale but maybe didn't look hard enough

Well I popped in this morning after making the journey back to Manny, and was a little dissapointed by the shop. Only a small handful allowed in at one go, and the bar downstairs was tiny. It was a great idea, but felt a bit rushed today.
