The best: Places to watch Wimbledon around Manchester

Not only is Manchester’s beloved independent street food and craft beer hideaway showing Wimbledon this year; they’re set to air every single tie on a big screen for free.

From Mon 3 – Sun 16 Jul, guests can head down to Society – located next to the Bridgewater Hall – and enjoy Pimm’s by the jug, and endless beer selection and their usual food menu, as well as a one-off dessert from the resident pizza masters, Noi Quattro – Angioletti, deep-fried sugared dough bites served with Nutella and hazelnut crumble.

Walk-ins are welcome.

Honouring their seasonal nominative determinism in style, The Lawn Club celebrates Wimbledon with a bottomless brunch which includes 90 minutes of free-flowing Pimm’s, prosecco, mimosas, Moretti and more for just £37.50 per person.

Diners can pick their poison and indulge in a selection of pizzas, including The Lawn with tomato, mozzarella, mushroom, peppers, red onion & sweetcorn, or Carne, topped with Bacon, Ham & Salami, or enjoy a classic chicken Caesar salad. For lighter plates, The Lawn Club serves wings coated in BBQ, sriracha and lime or garlic and truffle butter, with bruschetta also available. You can also add strawberries and cream to your brunch for an extra fiver.

Every game will air across multiple screens throughout the tournament.

With exclusive summer cocktails, 4K screens and, yes, a lap pool’s worth of Pimm’s in the back, The Director’s Box flings itself headlong into the Wimbledon spirit with every match on display across multiple TVs in its modern yet evocatively traditional mahogany bar. As an immensely popular haunt for sports lovers around the city, bookings are encouraged for whichever match you can’t afford to miss.

The big screen down on First Street is always a huge hit when Wimbledon comes around so it’s no surprise the team have brought it back for the tournament. Showing games from 11am-9pm, just turn up, find yourself a deck chair and make the most of Mancunian summer. Along with the outdoor screen, there’s a whole host of family activities to enjoy including giant Jenga and table tennis.

Spread across two floors and with more screens than you can count, Brotherhood, which can be found just opposite the Town Hall, has you covered for the whole duration of Wimbledon.

If you’re planning ahead and want to lock in somewhere to watch the Wimbledon finals, then Freight Island’s dedicated sports bar will be showing both the men’s and women’s matches on the weekend of Sat 15 and Sun 16.
