The Engineer's House

Head down to Riverside and you'll find yourself at a proper locals' spot that actually lives up to the hype. The Engineer's House sits right on the water, which means you get those golden-hour views without the tourist trap vibe of the town centre. Inside, it's got enough character to feel established without being stuffy—the kind of place where you can rock up in jeans after work or dress it up for something more intentional. Whether you're after a casual drink with mates or somewhere to linger over cocktails while watching the light change on the river, it delivers on both fronts.
