Furnace Inn

Walk into the Furnace and you'll immediately clock why locals have made this their spot for decades. Duke Street's seen plenty of changes, but this place has stayed exactly what it should be: a proper pub where conversations happen and the bar staff know what they're pouring. The kind of place where you can nurse a pint for an hour or settle in for the evening without anyone batting an eye, and where the clientele ranges from regulars who've claimed the same stool for fifteen years to students discovering real ale for the first time.
