Man City 2025/26 – The Ardwick: Classic Pub Vibes with Premier Views

Step into Manchester City’s heritage with The Ardwick, a unique hospitality experience that channels the warmth and character of a traditional British pub right inside the Etihad Stadium. It’s football, food, and fan culture in its most authentic form.

A Real Pub, Inside the Stadium

From the aged tilework and brass finishes to the chalkboard menus, jukebox, and darts board, The Ardwick’s interior recreates the feel of a neighborhood pub rooted in northern charm. With vintage wallpaper and classic timber bar design, it’s a nod to the City of Manchester’s working-class soul — and the club’s own origins as Ardwick F.C.

Honest British Grub & Ale

Forget formality. Here, you’ll find hearty comfort food served up with pride. Think pork pies, scotch eggs, lamb shank, and proper pub plates that fuel matchday conversations. On tap, a rotating selection of cask ales joins a full cash bar of wines, beers, and soft drinks — giving guests plenty of choices before and after the match.

Premium Seating & Pub Atmosphere

Matchday guests enjoy padded executive seats on Level 2, with fantastic pitch views from a central vantage point. While the seats offer comfort, it’s the 90-capacity suite with its ‘bleacher’ pub seating and easygoing vibe that sets the tone. A rare mix of stadium access and barroom camaraderie.

What’s Included

• Matchday access opens 3 hours before kick-off via the East Stand reception.
  
• Food and drinks available to purchase throughout your visit.
  
• Complimentary official matchday programme for all guests.
  
• The bar stays open for about an hour post-match, perfect for post-game discussions.
  

A Tribute to True Blue Roots

Named after the club’s former identity, The Ardwick is history made social. It’s not just hospitality — it’s a community hub for die-hard fans who want tradition with a touch of comfort.
