This Friday, 4th August, marks international beer day worldwide. As a Manchester based business, it’s fair to say we all enjoy a pub trip and nice cold pint once in a while… well more often than once in a while if we're being honest! With this, we have created a Pub Crawl for you to drink your way through this coming Friday, as well as looking into the fashion styles of frequenters of each pub, so you can ensure you're dressed for the occasion.
Welcome to the vibrant city of Manchester, where the pub culture thrives, and fashion makes its mark on the scene. In this unique pub crawl adventure, we'll explore the best watering holes the city has to offer while also diving into the iconic Manchester style of clothing. From classic Fred Perry polo shirts to Y2K Juicy Couture tracksuits, Manchester's pubs are not only about good drinks but also about expressing individuality through fashion. So, let's raise a pint to the perfect blend of booze and style!
1. The Crown and Kettle: Our pub crawl begins at The Crown and Kettle, where Manchester's classic style meets Victorian charm. As you step into this traditional pub, you'll notice locals rocking timeless fashion pieces like Fred Perry polo shirts, paired with a tailored jacket for that sharp and dapper look. The combination of vintage aesthetics and fashion-forward individuals creates a welcoming ambiance that sets the tone for the evening.
2. Band on the Wall: Next stop, Band on the Wall - where music, drinks, and style come together in harmony. As we groove to the beats, take a look around, and you'll spot both men and women donning a mix of edgy and casual outfits. Expect to see some retro band t-shirts, skinny jeans, and stylish sneakers - such as those offered by brands likes HOFF - all embodying Manchester's alternative and music-loving spirit.
3. The Marble Arch: Now it's time to head to The Marble Arch, a pub that perfectly marries brewing excellence with a laid-back fashion sense. Here, you'll find Manchester's craft beer enthusiasts rocking a combination of trendy streetwear and vintage pieces. Think denim jackets just like this one offered from French Connection, graphic tees, and, of course, the occasional Fred Perry polo shirt, as it seems to be a favourite among the locals.
4. Port Street Beer House: As we continue our journey, Port Street Beer House welcomes us with its ever-changing lineup of craft beers and a diverse crowd that showcases Manchester's eclectic fashion tastes.

You'll see some classic leather jackets, vintage band merch, and perhaps a few girls embracing the tracksuit trend, channelling the famous Manc 'ladette' style, these Juicy Couture tracksuit bottoms are the perfect starting point.
6. Albert's Schloss: Now, let's head to Albert's Schloss, a Bavarian-inspired beer hall where the fashion takes on a playful and creative turn. You'll spot both men and women sporting unique ensembles, from chic streetwear to quirky outfits that reflect the city's bold and diverse character.
7. The Washhouse: Behind the facade of The Washhouse, a speakeasy-style bar, you'll find a mix of fashion-forward individuals who love experimenting with their style. From vintage dresses to elegant blazers, everyone here showcases their personal flair while sipping on innovative cocktails.
