The Bell

You'll find yourself on one of St Paul's better-kept streets, stepping into a pub that feels like it belongs to the people who drink there rather than some corporate playbook. The Bell does that rare thing of being genuinely unpretentious without trying—no Instagram angles, no craft cocktail nonsense, just good beer and proper company. It's the kind of place where regulars have their spots and you don't feel like an outsider for joining them; there's a warmth here that comes from actual community rather than forced cosiness.
