Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Pelican

Formerly Beatnikz Republic NQ, the Pelican is now the Squawk Brewery tap, with an unchanged reversed L-shaped layout but some decorative changes. As you enter, you immediately see a row of 14 craft keg taps on the bar-back, with a large but curiously illegible display board above (which, on closer inspection, listed seven of their own beers, six from Neighbourhood and and one from Carnival). Also has three handpumps at one end of the counter and four more on the window side, offering their Oriolus (£3.90), Dawn Chorus from Neighbourhood and an Ascension cider.

Quinno _ left this review about Beatnikz Republic

Predictable trendy Manc venue, an inverse and thin L shaped interior with some multi-coloured back-lit plastic wall on the left and orange banquette seating on the right, an unusual nod to comfort. There's more backlit plastic - multi-coloured this time! - behind the bar. Otherwise it was dark, dingy and noisy so I wasn’t ever going to stay long despite a decent ale selection. My Madagascan Porter by Black Iris Brewery was a tasty little beer if a tad over-vented (NBSS 3) and served-up by a friendly barmaid. The local CAMRAs like it and it’s GBG’23 listed.

Steve C left this review about Beatnikz Republic

Beatnikz Central is a long thin L-shaped bar with a serving counter on the rear wall that supports 14 keg and three cask ale products. The décor is destressed and the high bench like tables give the feel of a beer festival. There was some background music playing during my recent midweek evening visit. This place is good for beer fans, but not so much for pub fans, like myself.
