Golden Mile Inn

You're heading out towards Corntown and you spot the Golden Mile—a proper local that doesn't do Instagram theatrics but absolutely nails what it does. Walk in and you'll find the sort of atmosphere that's been built by years of the same faces coming back, not by a design agency. The kitchen takes pride in their food without being precious about it; honest portions, proper flavours, the kind of cooking that makes sense. It's the pub you'd go to if you actually lived round here, which plenty of people do, judging by the packed bar most nights.
