If you’re anything like me and have left it to the last minute to find somewhere to watch England at Euro 2020, then you will be in the tricky situation of desperately trying to find somewhere to watch that isn’t fully booked.
Don’t worry! There are plenty of good bars and pubs in Manchester that are accepting walk-ins for England games. However, with all these establishments listed below, we still recommend that you get down there early to grab a seat.
Here is aAh! Magazine’s suggestions for where to watch football come home.
Boasting “immaculate surroundings” to watch sport in, with big screens perfect for the occasion. Located in the heart of the Northern Quarter, grab some craft beers and something to eat, and sit back and enjoy the fun.
The American-style dive bar famous for their 20p hot wings is showing the Euros. Not only are they taking walk-ins, they go one better and don’t take any bookings so you might have a good chance of grabbing a seat here. What’s more, if England’s football is as boring as it was in the warm-up games, then Bunny’s has a hot wing challenge that can keep you and your mates entertained.

With indoor seating, a brand new heated outdoor terrace and offering award-winning craft ale and cider, a trip to Ancoats could be a good bet to watch Southgate’s men attempt to lift England’s first European Championship. They will also be serving ‘concoctions’ from around Europe, as well as playing price-drop pints for key fixtures.
Lost Cat are turning the first floor of their bar into a Euro 2020 zone, with big screens set up to show the games. Another bar exclusively taking walk-ins so get yourself down there, they’re only showing the football on one floor so make sure you arrive in time to secure a table.

Northern Quarter’s Dive Bar is hosting European Championship screenings inside and are taking walk-ins. Tucked away below ground you can watch the games on HD screens while enjoying cold beers and classic dive bar food. Be warned they are also taking bookings.

But, of course, it wouldn’t be a proper festival weekend without the flash downpours,…

With the downpours hardly taking a break, Saturday is the day for the indie-heads and brats, as two of the most anticipated acts of the weekend take the…
Featured image: Georgina Hurdsfield Despite the dreary weather forecast, it seems the explosive noise of the night before has blown away the expected torrential rain, as the sun fights through the clouds to shine over Leeds Festival on Friday. With the opening of the ‘other’ stages, the first double headliner, and a very special birthday,…
Featured image: Ruby Boland As the gates of Bramham Park finally opened for the 2026 edition, so too did the heavens, with heavy rain and thunderstorms forecast for the whole weekend, you’d be forgiven for thinking this year’s instalment of Leeds Festival was a write-off. Neither the punters nor the artists would let this dreary…
