Pubs before match

[MadchesterCity]

Stripped of everything so I guess it is.

That’s a shame

Before games at Maine Rd would drink in the Circus, Old Monkey and Grey Horse, before moving on to the Beehive or the Welcome. Not been on Portland St for years are those pubs still there.

Yep all three still there but the Grey Horse and the Monkey are run by rags and the former has shitty pictures on the walls

How is it generally with away fans drinking in town, don't often imagine that.?

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Seven Brothers / Second City in Ancoats are both good pre match, is is the Track brewery tap room which is on the way to the ground from town.

The Grey horse is wall to wall full of United tat and has a distinct piss stained old man vibe.

Not been in for years, won’t be going in again ever probably.

Sinclairs, Seven Stars and Hare & Hounds are normally my pre match trek. Good boozers and no more than £3 a pint.

Some of those pubs sell 1/3 pints so it’ll be a doddle

Wheatsheaf in NQ, just round corner from Tib St Tavern

Smithfield Tavern & Crown & Kettle are great for the (pale) ale drinkers.

I know this has been discussed previously but given it’s a 5.30 kick off on Saturday…so plenty of extra boozing time…Where are the best places for pre-match pints when coming from Piccadilly?

I used to like a couple in the green (golf bar) which has now closed. So recently I’ve just been having one or two in Piccadilly Tap then straight to the ground but seen as I’ll be there from about midday it’s probably worth going to a few others, where are there normally plenty of blues?

when did the golf bar shut down?

Used to love going in there

Mates who came up for the Chelsea game recently, met up with about a dozen other fans in Seven Brothers before the game. Lot of City in there too, but all was good. Afterwards we met in Lass with them too.

I've heard the trafford is most welcoming

Tried out the Northern Monk for the first time before the Brentford home match. Absolutely fantastic quality & range of beer although a tad expensive for Manchester. In my eyes, worth paying a bit more for quality beer.

1963 apparently, time flies mate!

Good selection and pretty accurate but you forgot Hare and Hounds on Shudehill (the back entrance is in the NQ) Always rammed with Blues and cheap Beer.

Cheap beer and big screen in the Bierkeller, you do get some arseholes in mind, will probably pop in on Saturday :-)

Hey, leave us old men alone ! Grey Horse is a great pub, as is the Circus.
