The Eagle Social Tap

You'll find The Eagle Social Tap sandwiched into the High Street's stretch between the chains, which is precisely where it belongs. It's got that warm, lived-in feel of a place that's been pulling pints for locals longer than Instagram's been around—exposed brick, wooden fixtures, the kind of bar that doesn't need to try too hard. The real draw is the beer and cider selection: they stock stuff beyond the usual suspects, and there's an actual thoughtfulness to what's on tap that suggests someone cares about more than just profit margins. It's the sort of place where you pop in for one and somehow end up staying for three.
