Football Club — Manchester Fan Tour (part 3)

Such is the irony of fate — and as a result, the Royal Exchange Theatre is now located here, whose literally translated name makes us take a fresh look at the performing arts. You can have a leisurely lunch, rethinking what you saw, in the restaurant. And here we see in all its glory the consequence of Manchester's multiculturalism. Simply put, it is almost impossible to find a classic English restaurant here. Arabic, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, even French cuisines — but there were no "true old British" restaurants in sight.
Whether this is bad or not is up to everyone to decide separately, but one must admit that it is quite strange not to find an English restaurant in an English city. However, you can still find it - at 1 Exchange Square, Central Manchester there is a Lime Tree with roast ox thigh, vegetable salad and the famous real triangular "sandwiches"... For just one sensually juicy pronunciation of this name by the waiter, you should leave a tip! Total: 25 pounds for two people plus 10 percent for tea.

Let's take a little more walk and go to the pubs: where else can you grab the spirit of English pain by the tail? The Circus Tavern on Portland Street catches the pride of its visitors. As one, they are true fans of Manchester United and City, who are surprisingly peacefully coexisting: "do you remember how ours kicked yours in '89?" - "Bullshit, the match was bought, everyone knows that." The capacity is only a couple dozen people, but there are plenty of emotions. A cult place among urban fans who prefer high—quality ale to a pop lager: 2-3 pounds for half a pint (about 0.33 liters). The next stop is 374 Deansgate, where The Knott Bar thrives with the highlight of the program in the form of real Brazilian beer Bourbon County Stout (6 pounds per bottle 0.33). Manchester residents love dark, where to go ... 13 degrees with the taste of burnt malt leave an aftertaste similar to that after the last games of our national team. But it's getting close to midnight, and it's better to leave the neighboring Sawyer's arms (138, Deansgate) the next day — even though this pub was the first in the city since time immemorial to have the right to sell alcoholic beverages. The old man will have the honor to charge Russian tourists with emotions and beer immediately before the match. In the meantime, go to the hotel and sleep.

To summarize the results of the first day: the confusion of settlement and worries about the safety of things gave way to an acquaintance with the city, which turned out to be somewhat less exciting than expected. Overall, it's not bad, although there could have been more architectural studies of old England.
