The Tram Depot

You'll find yourself on Dover Street—that quiet stretch between the city centre and the Kite—pushing through the door of The Tram Depot and immediately feeling like you've stumbled into someone's local rather than a tourist trap. The vibe is genuinely unpretentious: proper ales on tap, a menu that doesn't overcomplicate things, and enough of a crowd on any given evening to feel lived-in without being rammed. It's the sort of place where you can actually have a conversation, grab a pint that's been poured with care, and eat something that tastes like it was made by people who give a damn.
