There
are a number of pubs and bars around the revamped Piccadilly
Station, new Piccadilly Gardens and Portland Street.
From
the minute you step off the train at Piccadilly, there's a
choice of traditional pubs, sports bars and even gay clubs
waiting to greet you around the station itself. The walk down
Station Approach towards Piccadilly Gardens offers funky hotel
bars, chain bars and traditional pubs. From here you can venture
into the Northern Quarter with its popular bohemian bars or
down the main Market Street shopping area towards the vibrant
Printworks.
Alternatively,
take a 90 degree left turn at Piccadilly Gardens and walk
down Portland Street, sandwiched either side by the Gay Village
and China Town, to experience some of Manchester's most intimate
traditional pubs, large chain bars and even a science fiction
theme bar complete with Darleks.
