BigCarew Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Any specific pub(s) the Villa boys go to in Manc? Went last year and had a couple in the centre and got a taxi to the ground. 3 of us going up, wanting to make a good day out of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) Oyster Bar near the Print Works, less than £2 a pint. Away fans aren't catered for by the ground. Edited March 16, 2015 by Wainy316 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Less than £2 a pint... It's a good way to Old Trafford from there isn't it? My first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCarew Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 Cheap! Looks big and a lot of outside space, hope for a nice day! Its pretty much a straight road so taxis from there look easy. Got the bus back from the ground to train station last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blandy Posted March 20, 2015 Moderator Share Posted March 20, 2015 Less than £2 a pint... It's a good way to Old Trafford from there isn't it? My first time. It is, but you can get the tram. There are loads of good pubs in the centre of Manchester, so before I stopped going to Old trafford because of the pricing, the general plan was either =pub near Deansgate station, or pub in the centre, then tram. Easy. Though the queues after the game to get on the tram are very big, so a 20 minute wait is about the norm. Suppose it depends if you're driving, coach or train to the game. But obviously train lends itself to pubs in the centre, then the tram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Mate used to live in the Didsbury/Chorlton area which is actually one of the nicest parts of the city from what I've seen. There are plenty of good boozers in the West/East Didsbury area and the tram takes 10 minutes to get to Stretford from there so if I was going I'd stay out of the centre and go there. Printworks/ Northern Quarter is decent aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Printworks/ Northern Quarter is decent aswell. That's what I'll probably be doing. Used to live in West Dids but never used to have the tram connection back then. It's so easy to get to United from there now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 It's a really nice area, not far off Four Oaks standard but has many more boozers and generally things to do so probably more the Manchester equivilant of Moseley/Harborne. Yeah they opened the tram extension last year, Manchester is so much easier to get around on public transport than Brum it's ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Last time I went, I just drank in the Spoons in Manchester City Centre. Will be coming from a different direction this time though so I'll just drink wherever my mate goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Yeah West is more upmarket, my mate lived in between the two so we went to West to watch last season's champions league final and managed to find one pub which had one minute tv in the corner! East has decent ones like the Crown, the Admiral and Nelson all decent enough to watch football in as I have. It's more of a Man. City area really, think Maine Road used to be not far from there.
