Monico Bars

You'll find Monico Bars tucked away on Lombard Street in the city centre, the kind of place that doesn't need to shout about itself. The wood-panelled interior and vintage touches give it real character—this is where you come for a pint that tastes like it should, not for Instagram angles. It's the sort of pub that's been pulling pints for decades and hasn't felt the need to reinvent itself, which is precisely why it works. The crowd's a proper mix of regulars who know the bar staff by name and people just passing through who realise they've stumbled onto something authentic.
