When Ian Brown famously said, 'Manchester has everything but a beach' he was wrong.

Well, fortunately we have sorted out Ian's hypothetical issue and our service means you will never be stuck looking for a pub showing the Bury game or Lancashire battling it out in the T20 Cup. We've picked out a small selection of the best sports bars Manc has to offer, but will be adding to it in due course. Know of a brilliant sports showing boozer in the worlds soggiest city?

A cracking pub that has its priorities well and truly in order. Sport (lots of it), good beer and decent grub you can eat with your fingers are the key staples of this boozer located just a minute away from the city centre's Piccadilly Gardens central hub. Four screens, gourmet burgers and hot dogs as well as free bloody WiFi make this a real favourite. Get down and check it out.
