If you're looking for more bang for your buck, with a side of sports, Slug and Lettuce Albert Square will sort you right this football season. Bringing you a whole roster of matches alongside affordable food and drink options, book a table to make sure you're in with the chance of bagging a seat before kick off.
A classic pub style hides a sporting favourite at The Sawyer Arms as you enjoy a traditional atmosphere with a whole host of regular football screenings, whether it's Champions League or Premier. Tucked in the heart of Deansgate, it's affordable too, so pints with the big match won't need to be rationed.
Less tucked away, more heard from the sound of stein glasses clinking, Manchester Bierkeller is the hustle and bustle of any good German inspired beer den, with some Manchester attitude thrown in for good measure. Not only can you watch it in the beer hall, but the Shooters sports bar means Premier matches and cup games alike can be enjoyed.
Bringing a little bit of glitz and glamour to Match Day, Manchester235 shows major sporting events on giant screens. Enjoy a range of cocktails or premium beers while you watch the game, and maybe indulge in a little gaming (the casino kind, mind) of your own once the final whistle's blown at this top bar to watch the football in Manchester.
You want to watch the football in Manchester on a floor to ceiling projector in your own private room with friends? You got it. Want to watch it in the main bar with the crowd? You got it. Whatever you want, this excellent Sports Bar just around the corner from Piccadilly Train station has enough TV screens to screen all of the Premier League and International games.
Not only is this football bar in Manchester called Café Football, but it's run by a bunch of the Manchester United Class of '92 boys, so you could say football is on their mind. Sat in the Museum of Football, you can get some delicious food while watching a match (though maybe don't wear your City colours), and they boast more than just lager: with global wines and craft beers from dozens of countries.
One of the Manchester locals' favourite places to catch a game. Tib Street Tavern is one the best Northern Quarter bars, offering a stylish approach to football. With plenty of comfy couches, leather booths and plasma televisions nobody has to miss out. If you're bringing along someone who is less football enthusiastic then the bar/pub offers a quieter, no football zone.
