Bar Pub

👍👍 Phenomenal pub! Rocked up with the lars and were treated to several top beverages including Madri, Guinness, and John Smiths. Top atmosphere and lovely staff, collected and cleaned glasses. *In the terminator voice* "I'll be back". People often mention match, great, staff, Great, City,

    Good place to have a beer before a City home game. Quick walk after to the stadium

    So much fun!! I'd been recommend the Townley by a friend who'd visited before to pregame for a Man City match. We got there early to watch the early EPL game and it wasnt packed at first but as we got closer to the Man city match, it got really packed. Great environment, easy to get a beer even though it was packed. Friendly bartenders and a 5 minute wall to Ethiad. Definitely a must if you are wanting to pre-game. If you want a seat, get there early. Thank you Townley for making my 1st EPL game, all the way from Atlanta Georgia, a great time!

    I would prefer to say no stars. This is a dirty, grubby pub, drugs going on all the time, not a nice place to be especially on match days, landlord and staff don't even know how to run a pub. Save your money and stay away.

    I went there first time, as a City fan it's really great to go there pre kickoff. Had a nice time there and will go again

    Great boozer for a match day in the sun, can get very busy so be prepared to wait as kick-off approaches

  • 4/5 Jonathan c. 1 year ago on Google
    Decent bar, very busy as not sure of many other bars around the stadium. Don't wear away colours if you are a visiting supporter. Chatted with home supporters, no issues.

  • 4/5 Peter e. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent service and great bar staff. Pauline the landlady is a great host .

  • 5/5 James D. 1 year ago on Google
    Fast service on match day! Good friendly crowd.

  • 1/5 Scott W. 1 year ago on Google
    Went in yesterday for the match got to quarter to 4 and they kicked everyone out and said they are closing and they are not showing the match so basically took everybody's money selling the beer without letting anybody know the match won't be on for such a big game aswell last game of the season title decider and they ruin people's day by doing that they should at least have put a sign on the bar saying the match won't be on rather than making shed loads of money then kicking everyone out

    Called in last week and thought it was a really nice pub. Reasonably priced with nice barstaff.

  • 4/5 Di H. 1 year ago on Google
    We were made to feel really welcome after the Ed Sheeran concert at the stadium. Lovely staff and warm friendly people.

  • 3/5 999chuckles 1 year ago on Google
    Ok for a pre match beer before the 5 min walk to the Etihad. Home support only.

  • 3/5 Sharon G. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a decent local pub. Sometimes you can watch footy or Tipping Point. The locals will chat to you and beer is cheap.

  • 5/5 Matt B. 1 year ago on Google
    Fab place for a beverage before City games for home fans. Nice and calm with no hooligans. Only does pies for food and toilets aren't great but still great for a pre match pint.

👍👍 I was craving curry during my stay in Manchester. And Google suggested this place to me. It's in the centre, almost 6 minutes away from my hotel. The interior design is very hip and it has a great vibe. The music that is being played is modern. The curry was amazing. And the prices were perfect for...
