Chennells - Amber Taverns

You know the type of pub you walk past a hundred times and finally decide to actually go in? That's Chennells. It's sitting right there on Wellington Street, unpretentious and unshowy, doing what good pubs should do—pouring decent drinks and making you feel welcome whether you're a regular or your first time through the door. The place has that lived-in warmth that comes from years of people choosing it, not because it's been written up somewhere, but because it's genuinely sound. You'll find proper ales on tap, a crowd that ranges from post-work suits to lifelong locals, and none of that try-hard atmosphere that makes you feel like you're in a theme park version of a pub.
