Ducie Bar & Cafe, Ducie Street. (c) Alan Winfield with permission.
The Ducie Bar & Cafe was a 1990s continental style cafe bar offering what looks like all manner of foreign lagers, judging from the six plastic signs outside (I make out two Heineken and two Stella Artois). However, on his visit in April 1995, Alan Winfield supped the cask ale that was on offer (Boddington's) making this bar an appealing sounding venue.

The Ducie Bar & Cafe was tucked away down Ducie Street off Piccadilly, at the point it meets Peak Street. The building in which the bar was housed is Ducie House, today occupied by the Studio Schools Trust. The Ducie Bar would have been a worthwhile stop-off on the way from Piccadilly Station to that Manchester classic, the Jolly Angler.
