About The Bridge, Manchester
The Bridge on Deansgate is one of Manchester's most popular sports bars, a multi-floor venue in the heart of the city centre that screens every major Premier League, Champions League, and rugby fixture to a mixed crowd of Red and Blue devotees who set tribal allegiances aside long enough to enjoy cold Mancunian hospitality. The bar's central location and late licence make it a natural post-match destination for fans arriving from Old Trafford or the Etihad. On derby weekend the atmosphere is electric from early morning.

More Fan Bar in Manchester
Albert Hall Manchester
Spectacular bar and live music venue housed in a Grade II-listed former Wesleyan chapel with original stained glass windows. A fan-favorite for pre and post-match drinks on Manchester derby days, with the Etihad and Old Trafford both easily accessible.
Sinclairs Oyster Bar
One of Manchester's oldest pubs dating back to 1738, serving real ales and classic pub grub in a timber-framed building. A pre-match institution for Manchester United and City fans, this pub was famously relocated 300 metres after the 1996 IRA bombing.
The Bishop's Blaize
The most famous match-day pub near Old Trafford, The Bishop's Blaize on Chester Road is a sea of red on game days. Packed with Manchester United fans singing and chanting hours before kick-off, it offers the quintessential English football pub experience. A must-visit for any travelling supporter.
20 Stories Restaurant & Bar
20 Stories atop No.1 Spinningfields is Manchester's highest restaurant and bar — a sleek rooftop perch with 360-degree views over Old Trafford, the Etihad Stadium, and the full sweep of Greater Manchester that gives visiting football fans an extraordinary perspective on the city's twin football empires. The cocktail list celebrates Manchester's musical heritage with drinks named after Oasis, The Smiths, and Joy Division, and pre-match dinners here before a derby feel appropriately dramatic. The terrace on a dry Manchester evening is genuinely spectacular.
