Britons Protection on Great Bridgewater Street - close to Deansgate-Castlefield tram stop - is a wonderful little ale/whisky pub which serves until midnight. The Peverel of the Peak, a little further back towards the city centre, is another lovely old boozer.
If you've booked into the Travelodge at "Manchester Central" (just on the Salford side of the river) you're near another great old-school, very off-the-beaten-track pub called the Eagle Inn.
Fierce Beers on Thomas Street in the Northern Quarter is great, as is the Castle on Oldham Street. And get a burger in Almost Famous. You can't really go wrong in the Northern Quarter. Rose & Monkey further up is good - they also do Indian food by This Charming Naan.
Within (extended) walking distance of OT and Salford Quays hotels: Seven Brothers in Media City - pretty much next to the tram stop - which is a great craft beer place.
Some great pubs mentioned there, The Marble Arch Inn is well worth a visit....though a bit out of the way. Another classic is the Grey Horse Inn, though it's a 'tad' small. The Old Monkey and The Circus Tavern (close to each other and also close to the Grey Horse) are also worth a visit, those 3 pubs are all on Portland Street.
Will we be locked in at OT after the final whistle & if so for how long? with 9K+ Addicks there & prob 50% staying overnight is the best way into centre via Tram after the match, forecast looks torrential rain ! Going to take tram from Deansgate to OT & get in early.........
Will there be lots of us drinking at Salford keys do people think or will everyone be at Deansgate
Both. Suspect most people who are staying in the hotels at Salford Quays will stay round there once they’ve checked in rather than go back again to the city.
That’s definitely what I’m doing. Plus as its walking distance to the ground should also take out the hassle of trying to get the ground from the city ahead of the game.

Assuming a comfortable and uncontroversial United win, I can see no reason why we'd be kept in afterwards.

looked into it & they let Man City fans out same time, if match gone ok so unless Addicks win.....16-1 odds...we will be out with 60K Manc's and then its a pain getting back into central Manc on tram so a walk or if luckily a taxi shame its going to be typical Northern weather.....heavy rain all day all night
So my daughter has fallen ill and is unlikely to bounce back quickly enough for tomorrows trip. We were due to stay over in Manchester and come back the following day.
On the Wednesday I had booked us the 10am Stadium tour, it would be a shame for these to go to waste so if anyone could make use of a stadium tour ticket for an adult and one under 16 at 10 am please drop me a message.

Anyone plot up somewhere suitable for a mixed crowd round Salford Quays in the afternoon/ before game, give it a mention on here, cheers
We'll be having a few around Deansgate and will then head over to Salford Quays around 4.00pm - avoids the packed trams if we leave it any later. The Beefeater sounds good but shout out where you're drinking.
