Hogarths

You'll find Hogarths tucked away on Clifton Street, in that stretch where the town centre starts to breathe a bit easier. It's the kind of place where locals actually go — no Instagram-baiting nonsense, just decent drinks and the sort of atmosphere that makes you want to stay longer than you planned. The bar's got enough character to feel established without being stuck in the past, and whether you're catching up with mates over a pint or settling in for a proper evening, it works. Regulars keep coming back, and the ratings speak to something genuine happening here.
