The Handsome Prince

You'll find The Handsome Prince tucked away on King Street, in that stretch where the city's energy shifts from the market bustle towards the Backs. It's a proper drinker's bar—the kind where people actually know what they're ordering and the staff can tell you exactly what's in their tanks. Baron Brewing runs the show, so expect their own brews alongside carefully chosen guests, all poured with the kind of care that suggests someone genuinely gives a toss. The space itself is unpretentious: stripped-back, no-frills, the sort of place that makes sense for a weeknight pint or a serious beer conversation without any of the craft-beer theatre. What sets it apart is the refusal to overcomplicate things. You won't find gimmicky flavours or Instagram-baiting presentations—just honest beer in a room where conversation still happens. It's become the kind of spot where regulars have opinions and aren't afraid to share them.
