About This Pub
Ah, Morgan's Bar in Manchester – it's one of those places that just feels like a proper local gem, especially if you're gearing up for a match at Old Trafford. From what I've gathered, it's got this warm, welcoming energy that draws in the crowds, with staff who are genuinely chuffed to see you and always up for a quick natter. The drinks are spot on for price, making it a go-to for a relaxed pint without emptying your wallet, and the atmosphere really amps up the excitement, whether it's pre-game or just a casual evening. That said, it's not all rosy; the place does look a bit tired and could use a fresh lick of paint to brighten things up. And honestly, when it gets busy, the bar service can be a right faff with long waits and not enough hands on deck, which might leave you a tad frustrated if you're in a rush. All in all, it's a solid choice for a laid-back night, but I'd say it's best enjoyed on quieter days when you can soak in the good vibes without the queues getting in the way.

The best place for pre match beers before watching United . The best staff who can't do enough for you and everyones always smiling . More so in Morgan's than down the road at Old Tafford .
Great for drinks pre match…
I was at Morgans Bar on 23.09.23 for DJ Joe Claussell and I had a brilliant time there. The staff are friendly and work fast in peak times at the bar. All the beers I bought were great value prices. I wholeheartedly recommend this venue.
We went there for an Aquarius link up, the party was nice, but the venue needs a lick of paint and more bar staff, the bar was ridiculous and a very long wait to be served, only 2 /3 people were working the bar and it left a lot of people frustrated 😠 we came from London and was not happy with the service or the unprofessional behavior of the young girl behind the bar with glasses and blonde hair..she was definitely out of her depth and in my opinion needs to be retrained on how to deal with large crowds of people waiting to be served and when I question her of why she wanted to serve a person that was standing BEHIND me, she then started saying I had an attitude and she never seen me waiting there...BUT SHE IS WEARING GLASSES. And then started waving her hands in the air turned her back and walked off and never serve me. HOW RUDE
Cracking little venue , great atmosphere before united match days , close to Trafford bar stop
