With the sound of cheers and groans echoing off the walls, the tension is palpable as City’s fans edge forward in their seats. The Lost Dene is absolutely packed, a healthy mix of locals and out-of-towners all glued to the screen, pint in hand, waiting for that moment of glory (or agony). The atmosphere? Electric — a mad scramble of voices that could rival the game itself.
Food & Drinks
This pub doesn’t just serve drinks; it serves a decent slice of pub fare too. Expect classic grub: hearty burgers that don’t skimp on toppings and fish and chips that actually taste like fish (thank you). Prices hover around £10 to £20, which feels right for Manchester. The beer selection is pretty strong, with local brews that make you feel like you’re supporting your own, alongside the standard lagers and ales. Cocktails are on the menu, but let’s be honest, you’re probably better off sticking with a pint while the game’s on.
Location & Access
144 Deansgate puts The Lost Dene right in the thick of it all. Easy to reach, it’s a stone’s throw from several transport links, making it a no-brainer for those hopping in from other parts of town or nearby. Just be wary of foot traffic on match days, as it can get chaotic. As for seating, it fills up fast, so if you’re arriving late (and you shouldn’t be), you might be relegated to standing room only — and good luck seeing the screen.
