Surprise access!
Went out during Pride in my powerchair and found that bar one place, nowhere was accessible. Was just glancing into Poptastic mourning the lost days of my able-bodied youth when one of the bouncers asked if I wanted to come in. I said yes, but those four steps look formidable, and he offered to run round the back and get the ramp! I hadn't had this experience at any other bar we passed and was very surprised. The staff were incredibly helpful and gave me clear directions, and the back door took me straight to the dancefloor! It was easy to get attention when I wanted to leave for the ramp to be put back, too. By far my best experience in Manchester's gay village.
