The Douglas Bar

You're walking down Normanton Road and you spot The Douglas—the kind of place that doesn't need to shout about itself. Inside, it's got that comfortable, unpretentious feel where regulars know the bar staff's names and newcomers are welcomed without any of that self-conscious vibe. It's the sort of bar where you can nurse a pint, have a proper chat, and not feel like you're being judged for ordering a simple bitter. The neighbourhood crowd keeps things grounded, and that's exactly the point.
