Cloudwater brewery owned Sadler's Cat serves 3 changing cask beers from its own stable 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. O
