It is a long thin bar with tables on a patio area outside.

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 as part of a community project financed by the Coop.

The pub is also on the site of the very first hot air balloon flight from Manchester in May 1785. The balloonist was James Sadler, who was the first English aeronaut, and on the flight from Manchester, he took his cat with him. hence the pub's name. They both landed safely in Radcliffe, some eight miles to the north.

Historic Interest

Sadler's Cat, originally known as The Pilcrow, was the first Public house to be purpose built as part of the Cooperative Society's commitment to regenerate part of the City following demolition of the Crown and Cushion public house to make way for a new public road which was demanded by the building of a new Cooperative Society HQ in Manchester. The building is now owned by the City Council due to Financial Failures of the Coop Bank.
