The Old Dukes

You're walking down Bell Tower Walk towards the river when you spot The Old Dukes—the kind of place that takes its football seriously without being pretentious about it. It's got that lived-in feel of a proper neighbourhood bar, with regulars who've probably claimed the same stool for years. You'll find screens showing the big matches, a solid selection of beers, and a crowd that actually watches rather than just uses it as Instagram backdrop. It's the sort of spot where you can actually hear yourself think between goals, and the staff know what they're doing.
