#WorldFood  #Football  #SportsBar 
Whilst not strictly a pub, how could we miss out a cracking cafe owned by a bunch of Manchester's most beloved footballing sons? Expect seriously good grub, as well as some refined drinks options, to go with the game. Obviously it gets a *smidge* busy whenever United are playing but if you can bag a table, it's well worth a visit.
