Victorian schoolhouse turned weekend bar where you can sip pints among original slate boards and wooden desks from the 1850s.

You'll find yourself drinking in what feels like a fever dream of your Year 6 teacher's worst nightmare. This gloriously preserved Victorian schoolhouse on Queen Street serves proper drinks amongst original wooden desks, slate boards, and dunce caps that would make any former pupil break into a cold sweat. The bar operates weekend-only, which somehow makes the whole experience feel more special – like you're getting away with something properly naughty in the headmaster's absence. They've kept all the authentic school fixtures while serving decent drinks, creating this brilliantly bizarre atmosphere where you can nurse a pint while sitting at a desk that once housed terrified Victorian children learning their times tables.
