Old City Bar

You're walking up Oaten Hill towards the city centre and ducking into this place feels like you've found where locals actually drink. It's the sort of pub that takes its beer seriously without being pretentious about it—real ales on tap, knowledgeable staff, and a proper mix of regulars and visitors who've clearly heard about the place. The vibe is relaxed but never empty, with enough character in the space to make you want to linger over a pint rather than rush through one.
