About this Pub

Why it's great for Matchdays

Right on Chester Road and just a short walk from Old Trafford, The Trafford is set up specifically for Manchester United matchdays. The operator describes it as a home-fans pub that opens on matchdays and during stadium or nearby cricket events, with a large main bar plus quick-service can and outdoor bars to help fans get served fast before and after the game. Independent fan guidance also notes it’s the closest traditional pub to the stadium and warns it fills up quickly on matchdays, so arriving early is sensible.

Visiting from the States, this was a great pub which is child friendly. (1£ pp to enter on match day.) only open on match days apparently. I enjoyed a bev and my child had a Pepsi. Only about 12 seats total in this pub so if you don’t arrive early you’ll be standing. We arrived about 4 hours before kickoff and were able to enjoy the crowd before heading off to the match. No food served here. Would definitely come back. Incredible murals and memorabilia through out the building.

My son and I popped in here for a pre-match drink, (home fans only) after the wetherspoons across the road wouldn't allow under 18's in. There was a small entrance fee. The drinks aren't cheap but neither are they extortionate, about £8 for a pint of lager and a can of Pepsi max. Atmosphere was good in here and steadily got busier towards kick off time. There wasn't any trouble, door staff and bar staff were all friendly and helpful. There's an excellent mural of the man united badge, on the side of the building, many people were getting pictures of themselves in front of it. Next time we come to see a match, we will definitely call in.
