Behind the bar of the Rembrandt - the pub that brought Pride to Manchester

That description could be applied to one Village pub — being a steadfast pillar and meeting place for the LGBTQ+ community for decades — as a whole area of the city centre around it was regenerated, reinvigorated, and rediscovered.

“That’s the bring-and-buy sale they had, in 1987,” owner Allan Whyte told the Manchester Evening News . He was referring to one of the many photographs which adorns his pub’s walls — which he has worked in since 1996. “Traditionally, we were a man’s bar, and all the clientele were young men, so their friends and partners were dropping in to Monsall Infectious Diseases Unit at the time. There wasn’t really any help for them.”

As can be expected, Pride has changed a lot over the years — but for some, it’s changed too much. This year, bosses said they were returning the event to its roots, something Allan welcomes. Those regulars are celebrated, too. Ryan, as he’s known, has his photo on the wall. He’s 81, Allan says, and has seen how the pub has changed over the years, too.
