Sadlers Cat serves 3 changing cask beers from Cloudwater Brewery and has up to 14 keg lines. Previously known as Pilcrow but now firmly established under its new name. The pub is housed in a single story modern wooden building adjacent to Sadler's Yard and New Century, a new gig venue. Both are within the NOMA complex. It has a long slender bar with long table seating which provides a light and airy feel. Outdoor seating is located in Sadler's Yard where events are hosted in summer months. Occupying the site of the first hot air balloon ascent and subsequent flight in May 1785, the balloonist James Sadler became the first English aeronaut. Accompanying him on his flight was his cat! Hence the pub's name. Both landed safely in Radcliffe some 8 miles north. The nearby Balloon St also commemorates the event.

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.
