Busby and Wilds
Proper neighbourhood pub on Rock Street doing solid food and drinks without any pretence—exactly what Kemptown's been needing.
casualrelaxedtraditionallivelypub
Rock Street's got a different energy these days, and Busby and Wilds fits right into it. You're walking into the kind of place where locals actually prop up the bar, not somewhere that's trying too hard to be cool. The drinks list is thoughtful without being show-offy, and they're clearly taking their food seriously—proper pub fare done well, the kind of thing you want when you're round this part of Kemptown. It's got that easy-going vibe where you can roll in solo for a pint or bring a mate for something more substantial. The rating speaks for itself: people keep coming back because it's genuinely good at what it does.
