Great pub in the centre of Deansgate, lovely atmosphere and selection of food and drinks. Came in the afternoon with some work friends and was served by Kat who was really welcoming and helpful. I enjoyed the Buttermilk Burger for a pub lunch, I would certainly recommend.

Tried to call into mulligans, which claims to be an Irish bar for something to eat at lunch time told no chance of going in with children, went to sawyers and Marie the bar woman treated us like royalty... ps they don't half pour a decent Guinness for a fraction of the cost. Will defs be back

Me lo pasé genial en los Sawyers, y no puedo recomendarlo lo suficiente! El ambiente es acogedor y acogedor. Sin embargo, lo que realmente lo diferenciaba era el excelente servicio, particularmente de Marie. Ella era amable, atento, y se esforzó por asegurarse de que teníamos todo lo necesario. Su energía positiva realmente se sumó a la experiencia general.

My husband popped in a for a pint this afternoon and was treated appallingly by the man on the door - the bouncer randomly and completely falsely claimed my husband had gone behind the bar, he then threw him out and aggressively shouted in his face that he was a liar when he protested his innocence. My mum and I happened to arrive at this point and witnessed the doorman’s aggression. I asked to see the alleged cctv but he refused to show it (of course). We were completely bemused and appalled by the bouncer’s behaviour. We can only assume he was looking for someone to start a fight with and picked on my husband as he was by himself. Obviously none of us will be returning to this pub.

This spot has become a go-to for any part of the week! It’s usually not too hard to find a table and the staff at the bar are very attentive and friendly. I had a lovely chat with Katia who served me throughout the night too, and made me feel very welcome. Overall, definitely becoming one of my favourite stop-ins!

I'm not entirely convinced about this restaurant. The service is actually good, but I'm not that keen on ordering via the website. The ambience is typically British dark, but very nice. The food, on the other hand, is not particularly good for the price. My sirloin steak was very fatty and tasted accordingly.

Old, wonderfully decorated British pub, as you would imagine. The tables fill up quickly, but people also like to stand around. The ambience was rated low due to the noise level in the bar. At times you almost had to shout at each other to be understood 😊 The selection of beers is typically large and the prices are absolutely fair.

Popped in yesterday for a drink with my partner. First young bar person very friendly, welcoming and kind. 1 pint of Guinness, 1 small merlot £10.15 paid on card. Second older bar person very rude and sour faced. Exactly the same round £ 11.85 when I mentioned it she was extremely rude to me and said "well what wine did you have?" I said exactly the same as my partner ordered, which was 1 small Merlot. She then said oh you'll have to wait for the refund I can't do it now. She offered no apology or explanation. My partner, he's much more forgiving than I am, even tried to make light of it with her but she ignored him and walked off in a huff. Not the best way to treat customers. Lovely old building though.

We love this bar and always pop in when we go to Manchester, especially at christmas when we've done the markets, but after our recent visit, we will no longer be calling in. I know prices are going up on everything, but £16.95 for a pint and a glass of red wine (and we travel abroad at least a dozen times a year!), this is now the most expensive round we have ever bought in Europe! Including Paris and Norway!
