About us

WELCOME TO MANCHESTER PUBS AND BEER
Hello and welcome to the Manchester Pubs and Beer Group!
YOUR GROUP
This is the group for anyone who likes to visit pubs and who appreciates our unique pub heritage. We try to arrange a wide variety of events which don't just concentrate on the popular bars in the obvious areas of town.
Manchester Pubs and Beer is certainly the group for you if you enjoy trying different beers, ciders and perrys, but also if you prefer wine, cocktails, soft drinks or whatever and enjoy trying different pubs and bars in different places.
YOUR EVENTS
Each month we have a FIRST FRIDAY SOCIAL on...the first Friday of the month! We try to have one DAY OUT each month to somewhere within easy travelling distance of Manchester.
We also have other pub crawls, pub quiz visits and of course visits to beer and cider festivals.
YOUR SUGGESTIONS
Members are welcome to suggest and host events. Pop a short note into the Discussions area of the Meetup site.
YOUR FACEBOOK GROUP
We have a companion Manchester Pubs and Beer Facebook group which all are welcome to join, where we can share ideas about events, pub, beer and other related news.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/245317432877212/
There is also a WhatsApp group: ask about this when you attend an event.
BEHAVIOUR STANDARDS
The group is for people who enjoy sensible drinking, enjoy beer and enjoy pubs. There are few rules other than that you are old enough to drink legally, but we expect members to treat each other and the places we visit with respect and courtesy at all times. Abusive behaviour of any type, whether at events, in comments on the site or other social media will not be tolerated. Repeated instances will result in suspension from, or removal from, the group.
As with other Meetup groups, the aim is to bring people together with a common interest. The Meetup group and Meetup itself take no responsibility for members' actions- you participate in events entirely at your own risk!
Do take a look at our forthcoming events and RSVP to any you'd like to come along to. A warm welcome awaits!
Cheers!

Group organiser

Day and a Night in Nottingham

Sat, Aug 22 · 11:00 AM BST

Location not specified yet

Many of you may know a used in live on the Derbyshire/Nottingham. I thought it might be fun to go and visit some of my ex haunts in Nottingham. Nottingham has a great pub culture with lots of interesting and historic venues serving really great drinks and food. I plan to travel down on Saturday morning by the 8.10 coach and return on Sunday on the 17.05 coach feel free to join me or make you own plans. There is fairly late trains on Saturday for those that may want to return same day. I have an Air BnB booked for myself but all though choosing to stay will have to make their own plans.
I will set up a discord nearer time but here is my current plans for the visit.

Brunch in Notts at 11.00. Venue TBA
12.30 - 5.00 Whistle stop tour of city pubs including the following
- The Vat and Fiddle, The Canalhouse, The Fellows Morton, The Trip to Jerusalem, The Salutation and the Keans Head. These places are all near the train and bus station so I can arrange to meet people coming in at other time.
5.00 - Curry at the Anoka. One of the best curry venues I have ever been to. I it has a 2 for 1 offer before 6 so it's great venue if we get in early.
6.00 till Late the Pubs of Canning Circus ( a 5 min tram ride from the city ) including
- The Mist Rolling inn, The Organ Grinder, The Falcon, The Sir John Borlasse Warren and The Hand in Heart.

For those you want to stay the night I will be happy to arrange a walk along the Trent and Beeston Canal either a gentle 3-4 miles from the city to Beeston marina (where we can enjoy an ice cream before the short trip to the Victoria a great Pub that serves an excellent Sunday lunch.) or a pub crawl around West Bridgford depending on the weather.
