Bar supervisor Ian said the pigeon had made its way in through a large glass window that was open because of the good weather.
He added: "It just sums up the birds round here to be honest.
"When I posted it on Facebook I made a bit of a joke that it was hard as f**k but I think there's an element of truth to it.
"I've moved from Edinburgh to Salford for university and you see memes and stuff online about Manchester being gritty and this pigeon definitely fit the mould.
"I didn't want it in the bar while I was trying to get the place clean for customers but it just wouldn't budge.
"It didn't seem too intimidated by the vacuum. I didn't want to pick it up because it's a smelly pigeon.
"There was another one earlier in the day but it didn't put up as much of a fight as this one."

Music student Ian said he initially had fears that the bird might be injured - but these were put to bed when it flew off seconds after he stopped filming.
Ian said: "A few people said I was being a bit harsh and asked why didn't I check that it wasn't hurt, but it flew off as soon as I shut the door really.
"We do tend to get them now and again in the bar but they don't usually come inside and hang around as long as that.
"The doors were open because it was a nice day so I don't blame him for trying.
"Pushing him out the door was like going in slow-motion. He kept wriggling from side-to-side but squared up to the vacuum instead of just turning round and walking off. It was pretty funny."
Hopefully the Manchester bird didn't Flock Back in Anger.
