Pubs & Bars near Manchester Arena |
| & Bars near the National Football Museum |
Whilst Manchester Arena (formerly the MEN Arena and Phones 4U Arena), is on the edge of the city centre at Victoria Station, there are still many pubs and bars less than a 5 minute walk away.
The National Football Museum, Manchester Cathedral and Cheethams School Of Music are both next to Manchester Arena, whilst The Printworks entertainment complex is just across the road and boasts a number of places to drink which offer pre-show deals.
The newly refurbished Corn Exchange, next to the main shopping area, is just a few minutes walk away from Manchester Arena and showcases a large collection of bars and restaurants inside the stunning Edwardian building.
The traditional pubs that surround the Shambles, around Exchange Square, provide the most popular pre-concert meeting places and, as a result, get very busy, whilst The Printworks complex, with its many bars, nightclubs and restaurants seems to be the most popular destination after the gig. |
