Fannys Pub

You'll find Fannys tucked away on Markland Hill in Heaton, where the crowd knows what they want and the bar staff deliver it without faffing about. This is the kind of place where regulars have their spots and newcomers are welcomed with a genuine nod rather than performative friendliness. The Victoria Inn (Fannys to everyone who matters) pulls decent pints, keeps things straightforward, and doesn't pretend to be anything other than a proper boozer. It's got that lived-in comfort of a neighbourhood local—sticky floors optional, character mandatory.
