If <strong>Manchester<\/strong> bands aren\u2019t your thing, fear not, they also play contemporary music from acts such as; Tame Impalla, Jamie XX, and Animal Collective, as well as classics from the likes of Blur, Bowie, The Rolling Stones, and Pulp.

(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.manutd.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"broken_link\">Manchester united<\/a> were once great) and their classic (if in recent years one-sided) European encounters. Perhaps the success of <strong>Bar Manchester<\/strong> reflects a mutual fondness between the two cities which transcends football\u00a0and shows that musically, Barcelona enjoys the glorious bands who have sprung from <strong>Manchester<\/strong> in such vast numbers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Even if you\u2019re not a music lover, there are still plenty of reasons to visit B<strong>ar Manchester.<\/strong> You will be served by friendly bar staff, the drinks are fairly priced, and the atmosphere is upbeat, but not overbearing. There is a split of locals and foreigners, and an array of nice bottled cask beers such has Barcino, and mojitos to enjoy. \u00a0Also, there is a fair amount of space, which can be a problem in Barcelona <strong>bars.<\/strong> They don\u2019t serve food, but <strong>Bar Manchester<\/strong> is certainly a good place to start a memorable night out in Barcelona.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_articles_Barcelonas_best_sports_bars\"><\/span>Related articles:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/top-sports-bars-when-in-barcelona\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Barcelona\u2019s best sports bars<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<div style=\"display: none;\"\n    class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-valign-bottom kksr-align-left \"\n    data-id=\"62798\"\n    data-slug=\"\">\n    <div class=\"kksr-stars\">\n    <div class=\"kksr-stars-inactive\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"1\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"2\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"3\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"4\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"5\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"kksr-stars-active\" style=\"width: 120px;\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    <div class=\"kksr-legend\">\n            <strong class=\"kksr-score\">4<\/strong>\n        <span class=\"kksr-muted\">\/<\/span>\n        <strong>5<\/strong>\n        <span class=\"kksr-muted\">(<\/span>\n        <strong class=\"kksr-count\">2<\/strong>\n        <span class=\"kksr-muted\">\n            votes        <\/span>\n        <span class=\"kksr-muted\">)<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Landing in Barcelona can feel disorientating, with your copy of Lonely Planet proving insufficient to navigate you towards the best, hippest nooks and crannies the city offers.
