Cleats Bar

Head down to Kempock Street and you'll find yourself in one of those pubs that doesn't need to try too hard. Cleats has that lived-in feel—the kind of place where regulars know the bar staff by name and the conversation flows as freely as the Guinness. It's unpretentious in the best way possible, the sort of spot where you can nurse a pint for hours without anyone making you feel like you need to order food or justify your presence. The crowd's mixed enough that you won't feel out of place whether you're popping in after work or settling in for the evening.
