Piggy Banks

You head down Newport Street towards the town centre and Piggy Banks just feels like the kind of place that's been doing its thing quietly while everyone else is chasing trends. It's got that vibe where the regulars know the staff's names and the newcomers feel welcome anyway—no gatekeeping nonsense. The ratings speak for themselves: nearly 190 reviews at 4.6 stars means people keep coming back, not because it's Instagram-famous but because it's genuinely decent. Whether you're after a proper pint, something a bit fancier, or just somewhere to meet mates without paying West London prices, this is your spot. The kind of bar that reminds you why local drinking culture still matters.
