About this Pub
Why it's great for Matchdays
Mannings is a central, sports-focused pub (8 Cornhill) that shows live football on Sky Sports and TNT Sports, with fixtures you can book for and multiple screens—handy for catching early or late kick-offs. Being in Ipswich town centre also makes it practical on matchdays, as Portman Road is a short walk from the town centre, so it works as a pre- or post-match stop without detouring far from the ground.
Recent Fan Reviews
This is a handy pub in Ipswich town centre, it even has a nice courtyard beer garden too. It's a boisterous place full of characters but generally friendly on my occasional visits. The beers are kept well (though the unfulfilled promise of London Pride is a constant disappointment). Not a regular haunt for me but pleasant when I do call by. Cheers to the fun ladies behind the bar.
Not been here before so thought would nip in for quick drink. It's an early bird pub with its 10am opening. Staff are friendly and it has free WiFi and an outside smoking area to the side. Does do food but didn't try it, will do next time. Good generic boozer.
Proper pub, proper crowd. Very welcoming
It's alright is Mannings, the staff are always nice and approachable, the clientele I find quite friendly and the drinks prices are banging. If you like sport there's a few thousand TV's dotted about the place, decent seating areas, good outside relax/smoking area. All in all pretty good
Pleasant bar staff reasonable prices - 3 pints and a soft drink for less than £10
