It is the same guy, unfortunately he's a bit of a chancer to put it politely. He has a terrible reputation locally. So many different stories Yep and it's a shame really because I used to like his bars but these days I stay well clear.

When we go in the Cracked Actor the staff are always really nice and they seem happy enough there, I've not interrogated them but it's such a small cozy place we often end up chatting with them.

Was just about to link that thread. I’ve also had a lot of that confirmed first hand too. Proper grifter.

Hopefully he gets what's coming to him then. Can't be behaving like that and expect to get away with it.

He's still done a cracking job with the Cracked Actor.

He has, it's a cracking little bar but by the sounds of it after reading those comments on reddit it sounds like he got far too big for his boots far too quick & maybe should of just concentrated on making the 1 place or two at a maximum a solid success before branching out further. It won't stop me enjoying the cracked actor for what it is & it's only somewhere I frequent occasionally but those comments paint the owner as a nasty piece of work if true.

Not saying it’s connected but the Glass Spider was opened after the previous place (Viking Bar) closed after one of the business partners involved pulled the plug. The other part owner and a few of his regulars were then quite outspoken/critical of him (The cracked actor guy) for taking it on. I guess it’s just possible that some of those having a go at him now were part of that.

I'm not a big fan of the guy. In fact, I'd say I think he's a utter b3ll3nd but I agree the cracked actor is a nice little boozer so I also pop in from time to time regardless of my opinion of him. I know a few of the people who work around there, and when you get them going on the subject, it's hard to get them to stop. Still, nice boozer...

Anyone been Brewski in Chorlton?
Looks decent.
(Apologise if already mentioned... I went from page 20 and didn't see any reviews, and cba going further back)
