Newton Grange

You'll find Newton Grange sitting solidly on Brasside, the kind of place that feels like it's been there forever and probably has. Walk in and it's got that lived-in comfort of a proper pub—the sort where regulars have their spots and you don't feel like you're intruding if you're not one of them (though you quickly will be). The kitchen takes things seriously without getting flash about it, and the bar knows what it's doing with a pint. It's the type of local that's thriving precisely because it doesn't try too hard or chase trends. Just decent food, decent drink, and the kind of atmosphere where you can actually hear yourself think or have a proper laugh with mates.
