The Spaniard

You'll find yourself down a street that feels caught between the Cathedral Quarter's buzz and the quiet of the old city, where The Spaniard sits doing exactly what it's done for years—serving decent pints to locals who actually want to be there. The place has that worn-in comfort of a real neighbourhood pub, all dark wood and low ceilings, where conversations matter more than Instagram moments. It's the sort of spot where you can prop yourself at the bar for a quiet one or join the crowd when there's football on, and nobody makes you feel like you're in the way either way.
