Tib Street Tavern

You can’t turn a corner in the Northern Quarter without encountering a bar, and yet - perhaps owing to its ‘alternative’ roots - live football isn’t screened everywhere. Tib Street Tavern therefore gets particularly popular on weekends, when security are unlikely to admit rowdy groups, stags or hens. Team colours are also not permitted. Once inside, there are plenty of screens to watch most Premiership fixtures, and the atmosphere remains pretty pleasant. If anything here resembles that of its trendier neighbours, it’s the drink prices, but the great variety of craft ales and decent food add to the overall appeal. The Tavern also screens tennis, golf and other international sporting comps.
