Cellar Vie II, seen here in 1985, was spawned due to the success of its namesake and was situated around the back of Piccadilly Bus Station on Charlotte Street. It has been opened and closed many times over the years as a succession of new owners tried over and over again. It started as a classy place in the 1970s and '80s, and was popular as a late-night bar in the early '90s. Sadly, it didn't have the staying power of its namesake and remains closed. It does get a mention in the Evening News though - Dennis Tuart recalled a derby win in the 1970s (a 4-0 win in November '75 in the League Cup 4th round): "My wife and I walked into Cellar Vie II and got a standing ovation, which helped to bring it home how important the Manchester derby is [1]."
