Magnet Tavern

Walk into the Magnet and you'll clock the sort of place that's been doing its thing for years without needing to shout about it. South Square's got that slightly rough-around-the-edges charm, and this pub slots right in—the kind of spot where the bartender remembers what you drank last time. The crowd's genuine: locals nursing pints, mates catching up over a game, the occasional tourist who's wandered off the high street and realised they've found something better. It's got character that doesn't feel forced, the sort of place you'd actually want to sit down in rather than just pass through.
