Previously known as Mother Macs but now re-opened in June 2024 and refurbished as the Rat & Pigeon. It is split over 3 floors but only the ground floor is open when quiet.

On the right hand side of the bar are 3 handpulls. The ground floor is a mixture of bench seating with a few high tables, this room is nicely tiled with a wooden floor. The second floor has a stage and a projector for showing sporting events. There is no disabled toilet but disabled access to the ground floor is OK as no steps up from the street.

Information for this venue is provided by the Central Manchester Branch of CAMRA
