Birrells Bar

Head out towards Redding and you'll find Birrells doing exactly what a neighbourhood bar should: serving decent drinks without any fuss or Instagram theatrics. It's the sort of place where regulars prop up the bar on weeknights and you can actually hear yourself think, unlike some of the louder spots you'll find closer to town. The 4.2-star rating tells you locals rate it, and they're not easily pleased—this is honest drinking without pretension.
