King William Ale House

You'll find yourself in the sort of pub that's been doing the same thing for decades without needing to overthink it. King William Ale House sits right in the heart of King Street's drinking strip, and it's refreshingly unpretentious about what it is—a place to get a decent pint and proper food without any faffing about. The crowd's genuinely mixed: office workers ducking out early, regulars who probably have a stool with their name on it, and people who've stumbled in because they're actually after a beer rather than a 'craft experience'. It's the kind of local that makes you remember why pubs matter.
