How to spend an entertaining 24 hours in Manchester

Having been one of the UK’s major industrial hubs, today Manchester is a vibrant and fun destination with an incomparable nightlife and international cuisine. One such place is Döner Haus in Manchester with its eclectic food and chic interiors. It’s definitely one of the places to visit when you come to Manchester. With that in mind, let’s have a look at how you can spend an awesome day in this great city.

Morning coffee

Whichever way you arrive into the city first things first: breakfast and coffee. But, if you’re visiting from the UK, you’re most likely coming by train, which means that your stop is Piccadilly station. From here you should explore the intricate streets of The Northern Quarter, which is the hipster part of the city centre. A good place for some quick breakfast and an excellent cup of coffee is Foundation Coffee House on Lever Street. Foundation Coffee’s interiors and food are also some of the most Instagramable around, perfect for documenting your trip.

Manchester and football

Once you’re done exploring, a must-see destination in the city because of they have two of the most iconic football teams in the UK, is the National Football Museum. It features four floors of interactive activities to test your football skills as well as famous football memorabilia, like the 1966 World Cup Final ball and Diego Maradona’s shirt worn during the infamous ‘Hand of God’ goal in the 1986 World Cup in Mexico. Once you’re done at the museum, both United and City’s grounds offer guided tours and behind the scenes action.

Lunch time

It’s probably past lunch time at this point and you’re famished. Manchester has enough restaurants to cater to for even the most finicky of tastes. We recommend establishments in the Northern Quarter, where you’ll find some of the most delicious and eclectic food around. If you prefer your meat, ‘Yard and Coop’ at 37 Edge Street offers some of the best buttermilk fried chicken in their hen coop themed interior. Vegans, on the other hand, must visit ‘V Rev’ at 20-26 Edge Street. This retro diner with a modern twist is the ‘it’ place to try some of the best meat-free burgers in Manchester. Once your belly is full let’s head out for some more fun.

The iconic Manchester nightlife

A good place for entertainment, restaurants, late-night bars and a 24-hour casino is Manchester235. Unlike other casino venues around the city, Manchester235 is an enormous entertainment centre and home to a James Martin restaurant tucked inside the glamorous casino. The casino features the only poker lounge entirely dedicated to poker tournaments and leisurely play in Manchester. It’s a top-notch brick-and-mortar casino unlike any other establishment in the UK.

As a result, Manchester235 continues to be popular due to the variety of online play options encouraging new players to get into the game. In this sense, online poker is catching up with the help of PPPoker and similar brands who are encouraging new formats and helping to expand the game on a global scale. Geeker Mag details how PPPoker has capitalised on the growing online industry, now predicted to be worth $525 million (£407 million) by 2023, by providing a global platform for players from over 100 countries to compete in one place. This has created a surge of players who are looking to test their skills both online and in physical casinos. And this is why Manchester235 is the perfect place as they are continually launching new and innovative gaming strategies to get players through the door. It’s also a great place to spend the evening, and later in the night, you can head on to the Vega Lounge Cocktail bar for some live music and enjoy the wonderful selection of drinks on offer.
