Pubs in Manchester

Garden

Sadler's Cat is the new name for The Pilcrow. It serves 14 keg beers and 2 cask beers served via Handpull. The Pilcrow did not reopen after the December 2020 lockdown and it was announced in June that Common & Co who had the lease were not reopening it. The lease ran out in September 2021 anyway. The pub will reopen under the management of Cloudwater brewery on July 30th after refurbishment. There is a just a 12 month lease on the building. This pub will sell cask ale but not in the first couple of weeks whilst the chilled beer lines are sorted out. Food will be available from a street food vendor - Wallace & Sons - from an external temporary building. Opened originally as The Pilcrow in October 2016. The pub sits on the site of Manchester's first steam mill and was notable for having all its interior's fixtures and fittings made by volunteers. It is a single level wooden building facing Sadler's Yard. It is a long thin bar with tables on a patio area outside.
