Seven Kings

You'll find Seven Kings right there on Bridge Street, in the thick of things between the town centre and the river. It's the kind of place where you can sink a lager on a Thursday afternoon without anyone making a fuss about it, or bring a group on a Saturday night when the buzz picks up. The interior's comfortable rather than fancy—worn-in wooden fixtures, the sort of lighting that doesn't assault your eyes, and enough of a crowd to feel alive but not rammed. The Belhaven connection means the beer selection's solid, and the food hits the mark when you need something more than just crisps.
