Panacea

Our Panacea Review

If bars could rate themselves Panacea would definately give itself 10 out of 10. And in many respects they're worthy of a high score if you're a fan of the elitist bar world.
Food comes in small packages in here with classics like fish and chips and chicken rice and peas all cooked up to perfecion. As you would expect they serve cocktails galore and if you're in here for any length of time make sure you're wallet is feeling healthy.

Me and my friend tried to get in on a fri nite and were told it was 25s or over. Now as we'r both 20 i replied 'it wud have been more belivable if u said over 21's' Dnt think the bouncers have got much between the ears so dnt expect too much Can't understand why they didn't want us in there as we were dressed smarter than most comin out of the place! Wudnt bother...

well, i was surprised that the door staff actually let me in wearing ripped jeans and a t-shirt. i paid 28 quid for two cocktails and two shots of tequilla and the barman actually shouted at me when i asked for salt and lemon, i thought he was just looking down his nose at me but it looks like the staff just treat all their customers like s**t! it still makes me really angry that i spent 28 quid there!!

the more people boycott this place the better then we have one less pretentious place in manchester..Ageed the bouncers and the owner are the problem esp as they dictate the type of tw*ts that frequent the place. Dont go and put em out of business.

Dastardly expensive location,full of smart arse plastic women looking for the typical client (ugly bald man with too much money), who appears to have bounced from one insecure relationship to another and consequently feels he has to be seen to be heard whilst his "for sure" colleagues who have an unrealistic attitude to life, stand by sliming over the plastic and giving our great city a bad name!!! Poor Helen Jones...

Last night whilst enjoying some quiet drinks with professional friends in Panacea, I was approached by a short guy dressed in a dishevelled cream shirt who proceeded to remove a friend's Porn Star Martini from the table. At the time, my friends were visiting the ladies room, and I was simply an innocent woman sat alone. I felt isolated and intimidated by his aggressive and unreasonable behaviour. When questioned as to why a 'stranger' (Jo Akka - Manager) was trying to steal my friend's cocktail, I was told that it had a 'tea spoon' in it. My calm response involved explaining that this cocktail and the previous four that my friend had bought, had all been served with a spoon. His reply was 'I'm taking your drink'. I said 'I'm afraid not'...'it's my friend's'. Within seconds, I was approached by a small 'bald bouncer' who escorted me - without explanation - off the premises. I explained that I was with three friends who would all be concerned as to what had happened to me. I remained cool, calm and collected as I left as the bouncer threatened to physically remove me - 'drag me out' - if I did not move there and then. About ten minutes later, my friends who had not been informed of my whereabouts exited the club to look for me. We proceeded to attempt to discuss the reasons as to why exactly I had been asked to leave. And of course, during this time, there was no sign of Akka. The bouncers had no rational explanation (hmmm, surprising!) as to why I was asked to leave..and as we were very aware of Akka's violent behaviour towards women, we thought it best to leave. We left over £50 worth of drinks on the table - I only hope that Akka got his spoon in the end!!.... Maybe in future Akka should pick on someone his own size!!!! Oh yeah, he didI'm 5ft 3" !!!! Short man sindrome.

I am absolutely disgusted at the bouncers of this club. After waiting patiently to get in we got right to the front of the queue only for the bouncer to say "This isn't your type of club ladies"!!! We were dressed no different from anyone else coming in & out of the club. We can afford to drink anywhere we choose! Give this club a miss people, unless you want ot be offended by the bouncer because he doesn't like his crappy job!
