What we’re about
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!e
Manchester Pubs and Beer is certainly the group for you if you enjoy trying different beers, ciders and perries, 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 OFFICIAL 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.

OUR BEHAVIOUR
Finally, 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.
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!

See all- Board Games at Benito Lounge, Chorlton - Every 2 WeeksBenito Lounge, Manchester
Join us every two weeks for an evening of fun, food and friendly company at Benito Lounge, Chorlton. We play everything from casual party games to the latest in cutting edge strategy. It's an evening guaranteed to stimulate and entertain!
We don't charge for this event and there's no need to book, just come along on the night. If you're new to board games, people are always happy to explain the rules and get you up to speed. If you can't make it on time, games start throughout the evening. Turn up when it's good for you and we'll fit you in somewhere!
Typically, 30-50 attend with 5-10 games in progress at any time. Don't pay too much attention to how many sign up here. This event is advertised on Facebook and multiple meetup groups. Most regulars don't sign up at all.
Some of the Games We've Played
Coup - Concordia - Code Names - Decrypto - War of the Ring - Beyond the Sun - Heat: Pedal to the Metal - Cryptid - Wingspan - So CloverAnd many more!
Like many games nights, we are entirely dependant on the games people bring. So, if you have some favourites you think you can teach, please do! <3
