![]() This building, on the
corner of Edge Street and High Street across from the
Market Restaurant, is home to a South Pacific tiki beach
bar called Keko Moku. This replaced a Mexican
tequila bar called Rodeo. A description of Keko
Moku says this of it, "The décor consists of a bamboo
thatched hut above a simple wooden bar. It has a style
that wouldn’t look out of place on an island far away
from Manchester. Very minimalist wooden barrels are
used as both tables and seating. It is a very intimate
bar with little room to really work with inside, but
the barrels utilise the space to its full capacity and
the candles on the tables provide enough light and
ambience to create the relaxed feel that they are
striving to achieve. The bar staff all don very bright
Hawaiian shirts making them easily noticeable in the
dark corners of the interior."
![]() At the end of the 19th
Century the ground floor of the building was occupied by
shops and on the floors above there was a candle
factory. If you click on the link below you can
see the building in 1907.
