Dog and Gun

Walk into the Dog and Gun and you'll clock straightaway why locals keep coming back. It's that kind of place where the bar staff remember your order and the regulars have claimed their spots like they own the furniture. North Bar Street's got character anyway, but this pub's got the sort of no-nonsense atmosphere that feels increasingly rare—no craft cocktail theatre, just good beer, decent company, and the kind of space that works equally well for a quiet pint or a proper night out. The 4-star rating speaks volumes about consistency.
