1000 Trades on the Park

You're heading into Bearwood proper here, not some gentrified corner of the city centre. 1000 Trades sits right on the park, and it's got that pub charm that doesn't try too hard—just good beer, decent company, and enough character in the walls to make you feel like you've stumbled somewhere worth your time. The name tells you something about the place: it's community-focused, real, the sort of spot where regulars know the bar staff and visitors feel immediately welcome. There's live music knocking about, which gives the whole thing a genuine pulse rather than piped-in background noise.
