Claret & Ale

You'll find Claret & Ale tucked into Bingham Corner, that stretch of Lower Addiscombe where locals actually gather instead of just passing through. It's the kind of place where the bartender knows what they're talking about when you ask for recommendations, and the crowd feels genuinely mixed — young professionals, long-time locals, people who've been coming here for years. The real draw is the drinks list: they've clearly thought hard about their wine selection and rotating craft beers, but it never feels like they're showing off. Just proper care going into what's being poured.
