Can anyone recommend a good pub in Manchester near the MEN arena?
Oh are you going to see the Beautiful South? I’m going next night to see the Pogues. It depends what sort of thing you like – Waxy O’Connor’s is literally just over the road and it’s nice and cosy in there – they do nice food too. Lloyds in the Printworks is nice and cheap – Norwegian Blue’s pretty funky but not to my taste – I like something a bit more traditional. If you want a traditional Manchester pub, try the Pig and the Porcupine – it’s a bit of a walk but well worth it – if you get a taxi down ask the driver to take you there. Al the pubs apart form the Pig and Porcupine are in the Printworks – -you can’t miss it – -it’s litereally just over the road – -you didn’t say how you were gettin there, but if you’re going by train, it’s left out of the station, and if you’re getting a taxi, the driver will direct you. Pig’s over the road from AMC cinema on Deansgate – just ask a passerby.
