5 cask ales on, from a range of breweries (3 were local). However, they turned off the sound and TV without warning and announced the pub was closing (about 7pm Sunday) without calling last orders?

I think the last posting has been a little harsh on this pub. I visited last night and had a superb time. The beer was spot on, Moorhouse Blonde Witch, a beer from Mosley called Navvie and 2 or three other ales. They had the rugby on, the staff were great, the atmosphere was spot on and I reckon this could be a hidden gem of Manchester.... only downside...its closing next week for re-furbishment for 3 weeks... I hope they dont change things to much... I will defo be going back !!

28 December. Jennings IPA & Marston's EPA. Why bother stopping? So we didn't.

What a gem of a place. As we came out the back of Old nags head we saw the Rising Sun. It looks like a garage so we had to go in.
As we all walked through a tiny passage the bar just opens up, its quite impressive as it only looks small from the outside.
An exellent rage of beers and real cider on here.
Hop back brewery's summer lighting, Leeds brewery's Samba, Timothy Taylor's Landlord, Moorhouse brewery's Blonde Witch, and Bank Top Brewery's Flat cap.
Every single ale was perfect. crystal clear. Posters covered the wall advertising the fact that Rising Sun is in the Good Beer Guide. (And so it should be)
This place shows all sports and its a very nice place for couples can go, as no idiots were in here.
The staff were very chatty and we had a good laugh, the landlord was a right laugh too. There are signed pictures from Mike Tyson, Ken Norton & Ernie shavers above the bar. It was a pleasure to dink in here, certificates cover the front of the bar for there exellent real ales. We stayed in here for over an hour but the pub crawl must go on. shame :(

Excellent pub with 5 real ales & 1 real cider on pump. Very clean when I called in this week. I noticed that The Rising Sun has won Camra's pub of the season which the certificate was proudly being shown off on the bar. (& rightly so in my opinion!) All 5 ales were perfect. Good pub with also good food!
ITS A MUST IF YOUR IN MANCHESTER!!!!!!

As with previous reviews agree it is pricey. Local CAMRA branch were visiting, they seem to like it.

Great pub sat in between some modern office buildings, great pint of copper dragon, even tho it was nearly 3 quid i would rather give my money to these places rather than a soulless wine bar. Packed to the rafters sat 5th at 4pm, good atmosphere another all round good pub.

Small and basic city centre boozer. It consists of one long room with a bar at the far end from the entrance. Half of the pub has a wooden floor, the front half is carpeted.A few tables dotted about andsome informantion about old Manchester on the walls. The beer range has definitely improved since my last visit however, with Black Sheep, Abbott, Copper Dragon Golden Pippin and Moorhouses Blond Witch available. Tried the latter which was in decent nick, but £2.90 is a lot. That's typical for central Manchester now, as bad as London. it's a decent place to pop in for a good pint but is pretty unremarkable as a pub, and along with its neighbours I consider it to be pretty expensive.

This is a cracker of a pub..!
My local on a friday evening after work..
Great staff, jukebox,atmosphere,
characters..all types
By far the best little boozer in Manchester

This pub really is a hidden gem. It has everything a pub should have, great atmosphere, jukebox, mixed crowd and the bottled beer is at perfect temperature. The staff are friendly and efficient. This pub has now become my local.

At £2.65 for a pint of black sheep 3.8% its vastly overpriced compared to a lot of excellent pubs on the manchester real ale scene, choice of only the one real ale also, certainly not worth visiting for value or choice.

Great little City pub in a developing area. On a recent business trip to Manchester I spent a pleasant afternoon in here during an ‘off-site strategic planning meeting”. Very welcoming and decent beer.
|
Doesnt get particlarly rammed most of the time...It does look pretty wierd in its position next to the modern offices on the street...but worth a look in.
|
I remember the first time I came across this pub. I spent the day sampling various pubs in Manchester, and then saw this camped between two modern buildings. Couldn't believe it! Loved it ever since. Always go back when in M/C

Very friendly landlord and bar staff

One of my favourite pubs in Central Manchester. Good mixed clientele. 2 TVs for watching the sport. Really good pint of Bombardier. Friendly landlord and extremely efficient staff.

Great staff who coped with the demands of a packed pub,full of England fans watching the Turkey match.
Might be as well to shut the doors earlier next time or get more staff on but they coped admirably and the beer was excellent.
|
Yeah, a nice relaxing pub in a good location.

I spent alot of time here in the fall of 2002 while visiting from abroad, and it was my fave pub in all of Manchester. The nicest people in the city frequented this place, and the staff were as friendly as it gets! A great place to hang out all day. The people really make this place fantastic.
