The Rose & Crown Pub

You'll find this place tucked away on Brougham Place, just off the beaten track but somehow always buzzing with the right sort of crowd. The Rose & Crown feels like the kind of pub where everyone knows each other but newcomers don't feel like outsiders—there's a warmth to it that's increasingly rare. The real ales rotate regularly, and they take their drinks seriously without being pretentious about it. Food is proper pub fare done well, the sort of stuff that actually pairs with a pint rather than trying too hard to be something it's not.
