In case you haven’t heard, Oasis are back, and they’ve taken over town like only they can with five blockbuster nights at Heaton Park. If you’re looking for somewhere to unwind, grab a bite, get the party started or keep it going into the night after the gig once you’ve made it back into the city, The Great Northern has you covered with the perfect mix of buzzing bars, stylish restaurants and unique venues with outdoor seating to enjoy the summer sun.
For a chilled-out vibe with a pre-gig pint or cocktail, head to The Mews to get in the mood for music before your concert. Our favourite hidden gem bar and charcuterie joint offers an irresistible array of craft beers, spirits and finely crafted tipples to kick off your evening before heading over to the bowl.
If you’re after some much-needed fuel for the Gallagher reunion, try out the vibrant flavours of Pan-Asian street food spot Suki Suki. Ideal for a light yet delicious meal ahead of the gig, the trendy restaurant serves everything from steaming bowls of ramen to bao buns and more.
Fancy something a bit more refined? Book an early evening table at another hand and sample a selection of sumptuous small plates made from local, seasonal ingredients in a relaxed yet refined atmosphere. Check out their menu via the website.
If you’re gearing up for a night of all-out singing and dancing under the summer sun, stop by Italiana 55 for some elevated carbs – they serve some of Manchester’s best pizza, pasta and authentic Italian cuisine with unmatched hospitality in a casual environment.
Alternatively, you can cross the Mediterranean and try some proper tapas at Evuna Deansgate, with a menu full of delectable sharing plates and a fantastic wine list on hand to start your night with some Spanish sophistication. Check out the menu and wine selection here.
On the hunt for an Oasis-themed bash before or after the main event? Look no further than Lions Den, our beloved bar and live music venue tucked down Deansgate Mews. They’re hosting pre- and post-gig parties on 19th and 20th July, kicking off at 1pm with the post-show antics carrying on into the night. No need to book – just head down and settle in for some belting DJ sets, live music and drinks offers. Check out the Lions Den Instagram for more info.
