Absolute pleasure having this team run our pop-up bar, situated inside of a marquee, and at such short notice (1 month lead in time). Great staff, easy to book and communicate with, very amenable to customer requirements and absolutely professional. Nothing but great feedback from all of the guests at the event. Would highly recommend.

Just wanted to say a massive thank you for Saturday night! The gazebo and chill out area were just perfect for what we needed in addition to the marquee and the bar was reasonably priced. Everyone commented on how fab the bar looked too!
Thank you so much!

Mat from Neptune Bars helped make our wedding Happily Ever After party a great success. I was planning the event from the USA so all our correspondence was via email. Mat always replied quickly and was very easy to communicate with. I wanted certain glasses for the toast and he was able to source these for me at a very reasonable price. He arrived in good time to set up his well stocked bar and then quickly cleared up at the end of the evening. I had many compliments throughout the evening on the brilliant bar. Mat and his staff could not do enough to make sure everything ran smoothly and I would not hesitate in recommending him for your next event. Thanks Mat, much appreciated.

When we booked the mobile bar it stated bride and groom would drink for free this wasnt the case, we were told it was an old offer but it was still on their website, we still had to pay for our drinks. We also asked for 2 beers on draught, less than 48 before our wedding we were informed the draught system was not working, they then charged the same price for what would have been a pint for a small bottle of lager. The bar itself was lovely and so were the staff, they turned up before time we were just a bit disappointed.

Inflatable Pubs in Manchester: The Fun, Flexible Way to Host a Proper Do
If you’re hunting for Inflatable Pubs in Manchester, you’re in the right place. We’ve helped thousands of party-planners turn back gardens, club car parks, and even warehouse forecourts into cosy, weatherproof pop-up boozers. In this guide we’ll walk you through exactly how inflatable pubs work, what they cost in Manchester, which spaces suit them best, and the extras that make them feel like a real local. We’ll also show you how to book quickly and with confidence on Poptop, so you can focus on the playlist and the guest list.
What an Inflatable Pub Actually Is
Think of a sturdy marquee shaped like a traditional pub. The structure is made from commercial-grade PVC with thick walls, secure anchor points, and zipped doors and windows. Installers inflate on site in minutes, weigh it down correctly, fit flooring and lighting, and leave you with a warm, weather-resistant space that feels like a taproom. Good units stand up to Manchester showers and breezes when correctly secured. Most suppliers bring ground sheets, safety mats, and the bits needed to protect lawns and hard standing.
Why Manchester Loves Them
Manchester has the perfect mix of spaces and social occasions for blow-up boozers. House parties in terraces with long gardens. Student nights that spill into shared yards. Five-a-side team socials in sports club car parks after a midweek fixture. Baby showers where you want shelter and a comfy vibe. Office do’s that need something a bit different without booking a venue. Match-day watch-alongs that feel like a fan zone but stay close to home. Inflatable pubs slot into all of these, keep everyone together, and stop the party drifting to the kitchen.
Typical Capacities and Footprints
Most Manchester-area inflatable pubs come in small, medium, and large footprints. As a guide, a small unit suits up to 20 people standing with a few stools. Medium handles 25 to 35 with space for a bar counter and a TV. Larger models can accommodate 40+ for a busier social, still with room for a keg fridge and pub games. You’ll want a flat space that’s slightly bigger than the unit, plus clearance around the walls for safe anchoring. Grass is great, but tarmac or paving also works with weighted fixings.
Spaces That Work Well
Back gardens are the classic pick. Shared yards behind student houses work if you have access and permission. Warehouse forecourts are brilliant for that post-shift social or a creative team night. Sports club car parks are easy if you have the committee’s go-ahead. The golden rule is level ground, vehicle access for kit drop-off, and a nearby socket. If power is a stretch, many suppliers can bring a generator.

In this city we see three themes requested again and again. The first is a Northern Quarter indie pub look, full of warm light, mismatched stools, and a relaxed soundtrack. The second is a match-day fan zone feel, with a big screen for the game, standing room, and space to cheer. The third is a cosy taproom style, softer lighting, blankets for the benches, and a calmer pace for baby showers or milestone birthdays. Any of these can be done with the right lighting, furniture, and a tidy bar setup.
What’s Included as Standard
Exact packages vary, but most Manchester inflatable pub hires include the structure, set-up, take-down, basic lighting, and flooring. Many also add safety mats, extension leads, and a small bar table. You’re free to bring your own drinks and nibbles, or you can add service options when you book. We recommend confirming power requirements and the number of sockets at the quote stage, so everything lands smoothly on the day.
Add the Pub Bits That Make It Sing
This is where an inflatable pub becomes the centre of your party. Popular extras include:
A staffed bar or simple self-serve counter with glassware and ice
Draught taps with a keg fridge for that fresh-poured pint
Pub lighting, fairy lights, or uplighters on dimmers
A big screen for match-day or a film night
Heaters for cooler evenings
Pub games like darts, skittles, or a quiz kit
Beer benches, poser tables, and stools
Themed décor to suit your look, from indie to taproom
We’ll help you combine the right pieces so it feels like a real pub, not just a tent.
Price Expectations in Manchester
Most inflatable pub hires in Manchester sit between £300 and £650 for a day or evening. The lower end typically covers a smaller footprint with standard lighting and flooring. The middle of the range adds nicer furniture or a screen. At the top you’re paying for a larger unit, heaters, and premium décor. If you add a staffed bar, keg hire, or a full service package, the total will rise, but your groundwork drops to almost nothing. Set a budget, tell us your guest count and date, and we’ll surface packages that match within seconds.
Set-Up Timings and Logistics
Allow about an hour for a medium pub to go up and settle. Larger models can take longer, especially if access is tight. We advise a pre-party window for dressing, chilling drinks, and testing the screen. Take-down is generally quicker, but we still need a clear path to the van. If you share access with neighbours, let them know the timings and the plan. Good communication keeps everyone relaxed.
Weather, Noise and the Small Print
Manchester weather is famously lively. Inflatable pubs handle showers very well, and many suppliers bring heaters as an option. High winds are the one condition that can make things tricky. Your supplier will track forecasts, advise on anchoring, and outline any safety cut-offs. On noise, keep music levels considerate and wrap up at a sensible time if you’re in a residential street. If you’re using a club car park or yard, check the site rules. A quick chat in advance avoids surprises later.
Power, Safety and Access
Most setups need a single standard socket for lights and blowers. Add a second for the screen or bar fridge. If sockets are distant, the team can run safe cabling and mats. All kit comes with the proper safety testing, and installers will walk you through emergency exits and safe use. You’ll also get a direct contact for support during your event.
Choosing the Right Size and Layout
Start with your guest list. If you’re hosting a five-a-side squad and a few partners, a medium pub with benches and a big screen is perfect. For student nights or birthdays where people mingle, go a size up to keep traffic flowing. For baby showers or a low-key office do, the cosy taproom layout with softer seating and heaters makes the space feel calm. We’ll help you map the furniture so the bar is accessible and the screen has clear sightlines.
Sample Setups for Manchester Occasions
For a house party in a terraced garden: medium pub, draught tap, a pair of benches, fairy lights, and a small screen for a music video feed. Guests can drift in and out of the kitchen without losing the vibe.
For a student night in a shared yard: larger pub, standing layout, budget bar counter, Bluetooth speaker, and a simple quiz pack. It’s social, quick to book, and easy to tidy.
For a five-a-side social in a club car park: medium pub, big screen, stool rail along one wall, and a keg fridge. It bridges the gap between the match and the late-night takeaway.
For a baby shower: small or medium pub, soft lighting, heaters, low background music, and a grazing table. The structure gives shelter and privacy while keeping everything close to home.
For an office do: larger pub, staff bar service, a few high tables, and a screen for a short speech or a team montage. No need to commit to a venue minimum spend.

Quick Tips for a Smooth Manchester Setup
Measure the space carefully, then add a little buffer for anchoring and access
Choose your theme early so lighting and furniture match the mood
Put the bar where people naturally gather and keep traffic flowing around it
Add a small outdoor spill-over area with a couple of patio lights if the space allows
Keep a simple house rule posted by the door, especially for student nights
Agree on music levels and quiet hours with neighbours before the day
Mistakes to Avoid
Don’t under-estimate power needs. A second socket saves juggling. Don’t cram too many seats in. You want room to move, especially on fan-zone nights. Don’t leave access planning until the last minute. A locked side gate can slow everything down. And don’t assume weather will behave. Heaters and mats remove most anxiety for a modest extra cost.
The Manchester Difference
What sets Manchester inflatable pubs apart is the mix of creativity and practicality. We appreciate a strong theme, but we also value a tidy layout, a reliable pour, and a plan that respects the neighbours. Whether you’re building a Northern Quarter indie vibe, a match-day hub, or a calm taproom, you can do it in a small footprint and keep control of the budget. That’s why these pubs are so popular here.
