24 Royal Terrace Bar

You'll find yourself on Royal Terrace in Broughton, a street that feels properly residential despite being minutes from the city centre. 24 is the kind of bar where the staff know regulars by name and couldn't care less if you're a tourist—they're just after good company and honest drinks. It's got that lived-in feel of a place that's been serving the same crowd for years, with the sort of unpretentious atmosphere you can't manufacture. The Georgian building lends some character, but the bar itself is refreshingly free from the Instagram-bait nonsense you'd find elsewhere. Come here to drink proper cocktails or a decent pint, have a conversation, and feel like you've found something real.
