North Laine Brewhouse

Head down to North Laine and you'll find this place doing what a good local should: keeping it real. The Brewhouse pulls in everyone from the arty North Laine crowd to regulars who've watched the neighbourhood transform around them. It's the kind of pub where you can nurse a pint of something interesting without feeling like you need to discuss its provenance, but where the beer selection actually means something. The atmosphere strikes that tricky balance between welcoming enough for a solo drink and lively enough when mates turn up.
