The 'Hipsters' (well, me, Grim and Deanno) will be watching City thrash Bolton Wanderers in the afternoon and then no idea where for a drink, one of many pubs I expect!
There are a few great pubs a few minutes walk from G-Mex, try these as they will be hammered with fans I would imagine.
At the far end of G-Mex, next to the Bridgewater Hall is The Britons Protection - looks like a small pub but is a tardis inside!
Rain Bar is just down the same road on the same side and across the road from there is The Peveril Of The Peak, a great traditional Manchester pub with green tiles on the outside!
I also recommend The Temple Of Convenience, again just up from The Pev. A former underground public toilet converted into a Boho pub! If there is 20 people in there (and we are not talking George Michael here!!) it is heaving!
Enjoy
