Manchester Pirate Boat and Pub Crawl Guide
The Pirate Boat and Pub Crawl is a brilliant themed adventure that combines a scenic river journey with a proper night out around Manchester's best drinking spots. You'll dress up as a buccaneer, sail the Manchester Ship Canal, and hit multiple pubs with your crew – it's the kind of daft, fun event that makes for unforgettable memories and plenty of photos for Instagram. At £29.95 to £49.95 depending on the package, it's solid value for an evening that blends culture, history, and nightlife.
Seven Brothers in Media City is perfectly positioned to launch this adventure, sitting right on the waterfront where you'll board your vessel. Media City itself has transformed Salford's docklands into one of Manchester's most vibrant areas, packed with independent bars, restaurants, and cultural venues that make it ideal for pub crawling.
Getting there's easy – Media City Metrolink station is minutes away, or you can park at the local car parks. Expect high spirits, colourful costumes, and a mixed-age crowd of locals and visitors all up for a laugh. Book ahead online, arrive early to soak in the atmosphere, and bring cash for the pubs since not everywhere takes cards. It's 18+ only, so leave the kids at home.
