Rising Sun

Walk into the Rising Sun and you're stepping into the kind of pub that's been quietly holding court on Boutport Street for years, unbothered by trends. You'll notice the mix straightaway—old-timers at the bar, younger locals tucking in for an after-work drink, the kind of place where the landlord knows what you're having before you order. It's got that authentic feel you can't manufacture, all creaky wooden floors and the faint smell of proper ale. The reviews sit at a solid 3.5 stars, which feels honest rather than inflated—people come here because it works, not because it's trying too hard.
