Manchester City is set to honour the careers of John Stones and Bernardo Silva with the opening of a special pop-up pub in Manchester from today (Thursday 21 May). Named ‘The Stones & Silva’, the unique fan experience will celebrate two members of Pep Guardiola’s era ahead of their departures from the Club this summer.
Defender John Stones has played at Manchester City for 10 years, and captain and midfielder Bernardo Silva has been at the club for nine years. Ahead of its grand opening, the two footballers behind the pop-up pub visited it, taking in the remarkable details alongside the Carabao Cup and FA Cup trophies the team won in 2025/26.
The pop-up pub will be open across four days from Thursday 21 May to Sunday 24 May, giving supporters the chance to raise a glass to two players who have helped deliver some of the most successful years in City’s history. Entry will be available on a first-come, first-served basis throughout the event.
Plus, thanks to Manchester City’s partner Asahi, the first 100 fans through the doors each day will also receive a complimentary beer. Cheers to that!
The Stones and Silva pub location and opening times
Taking over The Star & Garter at 18-20 Fairfield Street, Manchester, M1 2QF, The Stones & Silva pub will feature themed décor inspired by the pair’s unforgettable moments in sky blue. The pub also includes a specially designed dart board nodding to Stones and Silva’s trophy-laden Manchester City careers, and the walls are emblazoned with chants, portraits and of course the iconic recreated Oasis photograph.
The pop-up pub will open at the following times:
• Thursday 21 May: 4pm-11pm
• Friday 22 May: 4pm-11pm
• Saturday 23 May: 12pm-11pm
• Sunday 24 May: 12pm-8pm
Manchester City will play their final Premier League game of the season against Aston Villa on Sunday 24th May at the Etihad Stadium, so why not visit The Stones and Silva before or after the match?
Manchester City has also announced that John Stones’ career with the club will be celebrated in a new City Studios documentary coming out soon. Titled ‘Stones’, the film will retrace the England defender’s decade-long stay at the Etihad via a series of special archive interviews and footage.
