The Actors

Walk down Prince's Street in Kemptown and you'll find The Actors tucked in amongst the independent shops and cafés—this is the sort of place where regulars have their spot at the bar and the staff remember what you drink. It's got that lived-in feel that comes from being genuinely loved rather than Instagram-optimised, with a solid selection of real ales and a no-nonsense approach to hospitality. The crowd's mixed in the best way: locals propping up the bar, folk popping in for a pint after work, the occasional visitor who's stumbled upon something real.
