Etihad’s New Waterfront Hangout…
Hold onto your footy socks, because Manchester’s about to score a hat-trick with a canal-side cafe and bar that’s cooler than a penguin in sunglasses! The cheeky Co-op Live is about to dazzle the Etihad Campus with a development flashier than a striker’s dance moves. Nestled on the venue’s south terrace, it’s all set to be the ultimate local hangout with a cafĂ©, a tipsy bar, and a kitchen even Gordon Ramsay might sneak into! Plus, they’ve squeezed in a merchandise store juicier than a half-time orange. And if that’s not enough to do your head in, it’ll morph into a venue for 600 party-loving locals like a Transformer made of coffee beans!
For those football fanatics and lemon tea lovers alike, Co-op Live’s new baby promises a royal flush of perks. Citizen of the month? Why not! Whether you’re kicking back in plush armchairs, indulging in ‘stadium nachos’ or pre-event partying harder than a team after an equalizer, all are welcome! Fasten your seatbelts too, with high-flying baby change tables and a lift as smooth as a midfielder’s pass.
Before the chips-on-the-shoulder naysayers send off their complaints, come one and all to the grand unveiling exhibition this 10th April 2025, right at the heart of Manchester’s glitzy goal-scoring village. Make your way to Entrance G at 5pm sharp, and witness Co-op Backstage Club getting all dolled up for its moment in the limelight. It’s a venue with collaboration muscles bigger than a defender’s shoulders, drawn together by Oak View Group, City Football Group, the stylish Harry Styles, and, of course, the ever-ready Co-op. Welcome to the future, mate!
