With Deansgate ramping up with early evening trade, we found sanctuary in the nearest pub.

The approach offered no clue as to whether it was open, no A frame advertising real or craft, no smoker/vaper stood outside or music breaking through.
Thankfully as we drew closer the door was open with life inside. The interior of the one large long room didn’t offer much excitement, it was neither old or contemporary, possibly last decorated in the early 00’s?
Confirming dogs were allowed and cask was available, we were good to go.

Some friendly patrons made room for us all to seat and I enjoyed a pint of Odin by Brightside Brewing.
Two more of our party arrived, with more customers making room for them which prompted another pint, this time the Blonde by Lancaster Brewery.
The Rising Sun wasn’t on my radar, but was a thoroughly enjoyable pub, unpretentious and a welcome stop away from Deansgate.
During the last pint I trawled google, untapped and whatpub to find the pub of a past visit.
Thinking I found it, we moved on.
Loving these short posts and insightful pics.

What time did you visit ?
Cheers Martin. It was about 3pm on a Saturday. Around 90% of seats occupied with no waiting at the bar.
