Found in The Printworks, O'Neill's is a popular Irish boozer that boasts everything you need in a classic pub. From the live music and DJ sets to the live sports screenings and a cracking selection of grub, this one's a bit of a winner.
Tank & Paddle is the ultimate spot for sports fans in Manchester, with two floors and a whopping 19 TVs, including a massive 292” main screen. You won't miss a single moment of the action with HD TVs and 3D screens blasting Sky Sports and TNT Sports at any given moment. Plus, their killer drinks specials and a budget-friendly menu complete the perfect game day experience.
A seriously Stein orientated bar in the Printworks, Manchester Bierkeller is a premium destination for rowdy nights, top beer and some sought after sport. From their Shooters sports bar and pump served tables to top themed parties and German orientation, Manchester Bierkeller is pocket friendly, it's a giggle, and it's a great place to grab a stein of beer, or three.
A little pricey, but well worth the extra expenditure, RBG Bar and Grill is a great drinking and dining experience just North of The Printworks. Expect top drawer cocktails alongside steaks, burgers and meats cooked over their special 'Lava Char Grill', it all tastes amazing. They even have a stunning outdoor terrace that seats 60 if you want to enjoy a little alfresco drinking.
Prime for stag nights in the city and those looking to try something alternative, this Printworks bar may be just shy of the entrance, but they're one of the best strip bars in the city with a roster of ladies amongst private areas, bookable spaces and plenty more.
Dosing you up on all things Americana is the Hard Rock Cafe bar in the Printworks. Perfect for those looking to tuck into mounting burgers alongside a roster of casual drinks and beer, Hard Rock Cafe isn't a clubbing joint, but it still has the bar atmosphere to impress.
