The Live and Let Live

A proper local's pub on Mawson Road where the ale selection and genuine warmth actually match the hype.

You'll find yourself on a quiet stretch of Mawson Road in a neighbourhood that feels properly lived-in, not polished for tourists. The Live and Let Live has that rare thing: it's genuinely beloved by regulars without being cliquey about it. The bar staff know what they're doing with both the beer list and the banter, and there's a real sense that people come here because they want to, not because an algorithm told them to. It's the kind of place where you can nurse a pint and read the papers, or get properly stuck into conversation with whoever's next to you.
