La Cala Bar

Head down Meadowpark Street in the Eastend and you'll find yourself in the kind of pub that actually feels like a proper pub. La Cala's got that lived-in comfort about it — the sort of place where regulars genuinely know the staff and the staff genuinely care. It's part of the Proper Pubs group, which means you're getting proper beer knowledge without any of the craft beer snobbery that winds folk up. The crowd here skews unpretentious, friendly, and real.
