You know those pubs that manage to be everything to everyone without losing their soul? That's what you get slap bang in the middle of Churchgate. During the day, it's all proper lunches and after-work pints with the office crowd, but come Friday night, this place transforms into something altogether more raucous. The beer selection's spot on – local brews alongside the usual suspects – and they actually know how to pour a decent pint. Food's proper pub fare done well, not gastropub pretentious but miles better than your average Wetherspoons slop. Weekend nights get properly busy with a crowd that's equal parts students, young professionals, and seasoned drinkers who've been coming here for years. The kind of place where you pop in for one and somehow end up closing the joint at 2am, wondering where your evening went.
