The Rising Sun Pub in Manchester

About This Pub

Ah, The Rising Sun in Manchester is one of those timeless pubs that just hits the spot for a laid-back evening. I love how the staff go out of their way to make you feel at home – it's that genuine, chatty service that really sets the tone. The drinks selection is spot on too, with some excellent real ales and spirits at prices that won't sting your wallet, making it a go-to for a casual pint with friends. On the brighter side, it's a quiet little spot where you can actually hear yourself think, which is a rarity these days. But let's be honest, it's not without its downsides; you won't find coffee or fresh orange on offer, so if that's your thing, you might need to look elsewhere. Plus, with it only being open five days a week, planning ahead is a must to catch it at the right time. All in all, it's a solid choice for a traditional pub experience, but keeping those little niggles in mind will help you make the most of it.

Pros and Cons

Pros

The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always greeting you with a warm smile that makes the place feel like a proper local haunt.
They've got a cracking selection of real ales and spirits at fair prices, like that pint of Black Sheep on draft which is a real treat.
It's a cosy, traditional pub with a relaxed and quiet atmosphere, perfect for catching up with mates without the hustle and bustle.

Cons

They don't offer coffee or fresh orange, which can be a letdown if you're after something non-alcoholic or a bit more varied.
The pub's only open five days a week, so it's worth checking the hours in advance to avoid disappointment on a spontaneous visit.
There might be occasional shortages of certain items, like fresh juices, which could limit your options depending on what you're in the mood for.

Good old fashioned pub but when we went in there was no fresh orange available and they didn't do coffee understandable for me but her indoors was not impressed, on a good note they did have black sheep on draft .

Quiet little bar, loved the lady behind the bar and what a great price and spirit selection behind the bar which you can’t really beat

Having known of this pubs location for many years and walking past it, we found ourselves at a loose end yesterday and as we were near by we popped in. The pub had only just opened, so we were the first customers. The Landlord was sat at a table and gave us a nice greeting, and the member of staff that was talking to him immediately went behind the bar and greeted us with a cheerful smile. We spent 2 hours there, and this was a pleasant experience. We had a reservation for food elsewhere at 2.15pm, otherwise we would have spent longer. During those 2 hours, it did get busier, and as there were 2 football matches being shown on the different screens, the crowd was mixed and the atmosphere was great! The landlord thanked us for visiting when we left, which was a nice touch. Once we had finished our food at another venue, we returned to watch the second half of the community shield that was on. The pub was now very full, with standing room only, which wasn't a problem and is to be expected in any decent venue if you arrive half way through a game. We would have happily returned in the future based upon our experience, but the amazing personal touch that will definitely make us return was the very welcome gesture from the Landlord offering us the seat he had been using whilst speaking to one of the customers and she also offered us her seat. Overall a great experience and I am sorry we hadn't experienced this place sooner and look forward to returning!

Sat on Lincoln Square with Abraham Lincoln doomed to forever stare longingly at The Rising Sun. Been many times over the last 48 years. Had its ups and downs but generally sells good real ale. Nice pint of Osset Silver King. Pint of Estrella Damm. £10.10 for the round. Lots of hand pumps with three serving cider.
