Pubs before match

[swintonjamie]

when did the golf bar shut down?

Used to love going in there

It’s never opened back up since lockdown and says permanently closed on Google - that’s the extent of my knowledge on it!

Wheatsheaf in NQ, just round corner from Tib St Tavern

Of all the interesting places to drink in town those two places are about as appealing as Wetherspoons.

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

Used to see the late Alex Higgens in the Grey Horse sometimes great company sometimes best avoided .

Went in there a few times pre covid and it always struck me as doomed to fail.

Was a big place and always empty.

Around tee time.

Good list and pretty accurate but you

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.

I often end up in the Hare and Hounds after warming up in the Lower Turk's Head (virtually next door). They are both packed with Blues before and after matches. We took a bunch of Hoffenheim fans in the Turk's Head which had a live Northern Soul Band on (unusual for midweek). They got so pissed they missed their much vaunted: "march to the ground." But they loved it and they loved the Castle (Oldham Street) later on. The best jukebox in Manchester.

7 Brothers is a great bar , no problem with wearing colours and allow kids in , unlike Cask . Went in Cask after a 12-30 ko with a mates 13 yr old lad and they said we had to leave . We went to 7 Bros and and was made very welcome .
we are going in Cloudwater brewery tap & Track brewery tap on Saturday.

 

[Hes the left back remember]

Aye. Put a hole in one's pocket.

Delighted the Castle in Oldham St still going a staunch Rangers and City pub back in the day. Not been in since the seventies great nights there then and bad hang overs in the morning.

Track is miles better btw. Nicer vibe, nicer beer, not as cramped.

Thankfully it is now a modern, 21st century city centre pub that welcomes all comers and all cultures rather than the hotbed of far right bigotry, sectarianism and racism as it unfortunately used to be.

Correct about the jukebox Bob.

Where did I mention Cask lol. Maybe you need to cut back on the ale.

I’ve not been to the new Cask actually. The one off Deansgate is lovely though.

Cheers, i bet it’s cheaper too . Always found Cloudwater way overpriced.

 

[aka blue jambo]

I quite like Cask
