The Joiners Arms

Walk down Church Street towards the cathedral and you'll find yourself in one of those proper neighbourhood pubs that actually feels like it belongs to the community rather than existing for Instagram. The Joiners Arms has the kind of worn-in charm that comes from doing one thing consistently well—good beer, decent food, and a room full of locals who know each other's names. You'll get a genuine welcome whether you're after a quick pint or settling in for something more substantial, and the fact it's consistently rated highly speaks to consistency rather than any flash.
