Where to go for sports in Manchester
Manchester is full of passion and love for sport. It has a unique sporting history and is still a centre for sporting excellence, from the historic Old Trafford cricket and football grounds to the new and high-end Manchester City football stadium, facilities and college. Other sports like boxing and rugby league are also massive here. But it’s the fans (mainly from the red side of town!) that keep the love for sports going ultimately. From sport pubs and pool bars to golf courses, Manchester has it all. Here is a guide to some of our favourite places to watch sport and perhaps play some pool or other sports as well.

This is a wild bar in the Northern Quarter, perfect for dancing and is the place for day and night table tennis! They support their local music and cultural community, leaving their ears open to take any advice or suggestions in how to improve even further. They even allow an all time favourite sport: beer pong!
Dog Bowl is where you can channel your inner “Big Lebowski” with a New York-inspired bowling alley. There are five full-length bowling lanes found here, alongside an arcade courtesy of NQ64, a pizza and bun menu, and craft beers aplenty.
High Legh Park Golf Club
Bar, Sports Club
High Legh Park is a place to play golf, so it already attracts sports enthusiasts. Located in Cheshire, this is a great place for a spot of golf and then watching some sport afterwards. It’s got a gorgeous 18-hole championship course for seasoned players, a nine-hole academy course, a fantastic driving range and lots of coaches if you want to book some practice. There is also the Il Corso Clubhouse Bar and Restaurant within the club, where you will be able to enjoy lovely food, such as grilled sirloin steak, Aberdeen Angus beef burger, fish and chips or choose from a selection of pizzas.

Unlock your inner child with a visit to Calcio in Manchester’s Northern Quarter – a funky little bar lit up with old school gaming consoles and big screens showing classic re-runs and live sport. One of the most fun spots along the NQ, you’ll struggle to get bored at Calico between catching the game, playing endless games of Street Fighter, and tucking into all the best Mexican bar snacks from tacos, burritos, and nachos to frozen margaritas.

If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that Peaky Blinders is a great show, and this Manchester bar is proving it stands the test of time with their Peaky Blinders-themed venue. Don your best Newsboy cap and book a table to catch all the action at Peaky Blinders. Between great pints and pub food and huge projector screens and betting slips, you’ll be transported to the early 1900’s in this eclectic sports bar.
