Southsider

Walk into Southsider and you'll clock it immediately—this is the kind of place where the bar staff remember what you drank last week. West Richmond Street's got that Southside character, a bit removed from the tourist crush, and this pub leans into it entirely. You're looking at a straightforward operation: good beer selection, honest food that won't disappoint, and the sort of atmosphere where you can actually hear your mates talk. It's the pub you'd want living round the corner, not somewhere you're ticking off a list. Families pop in for lunch, regulars camp out for the football, and there's usually enough life without feeling forced.
