The Iron Ram

You're walking down Iron Gate towards the Cathedral Quarter when you spot The Iron Ram—a straightforward local where people actually seem to know each other. It's the kind of place that doesn't need to try too hard, with a solid drinks selection and the sort of atmosphere that makes you want to linger over a pint rather than rush through. The crowd here skews real: regulars propping up the bar, groups of mates catching up, the occasional after-work crowd—no posturing, just good company and decent pours.
