The Temple bar occupies a former underground public toilets on Great Bridgewater Street.  The Bar Review website says this about The Temple.

"The Temple (formerly The Temple of Convenience) is a Manchester institution! A converted public toilet (yes, that’s right!!!), it’s one of Manchester’s smallest bars and is very popular due to it’s amazing array of foreign bottled beers and a great jukebox packed with Manchester bands (many of which drink regularly in here). The intimate seating planning encourages you to make new friends and that can often mean chatting to some of Manchester’s best-loved rock stars. The unisex toilet isn’t the cleanist in Manchester although the encouraged philosophical graffiti on the cubicle walls makes superb reading. The Temple is definitely a conversation starter and you’ll either love it or hate it, we adore it!"
