The Stag

Walk into The Stag and you'll clock immediately why it's got nearly a thousand reviews. Crown Street's got plenty of booze options, but this one feels like it's been doing the same thing right for years without needing to shout about it. You'll find the usual mix of after-work crowd, regulars who clearly have their seat, and folk dropping in for a proper pint. The drinks list won't blow your mind, but that's not the point—it's about consistency, decent service, and an atmosphere that doesn't feel forced or Instagram-baiting.
