The Sly Old Fox

A proper neighbourhood pub on Hurst Street that pulls in a loyal crowd with honest beer, no-nonsense vibes and the kind of place where regulars actually know the staff.

Head down to Hurst Street and you'll find The Sly Old Fox doing what good pubs should do—existing without fuss or pretension. There's nothing revolutionary happening here, which is precisely why it works. You'll spot a mix of after-work drinkers, locals who've been coming for years, and people who've stumbled in because they live nearby and can't be bothered going anywhere else. The beer selection is solid, the prices won't make you wince, and you get the sense that whoever's running this place actually cares about getting it right rather than chasing Instagram clout.
