The Grove

You'll find The Grove tucked away on Spring Grove Street, where it's been pulling pints and doing honest pub food without any of the faffing about. It's the sort of place where locals are proper locals—they know the bar staff, the beer's always well-kept, and you won't feel like you've walked into a theme park version of a pub. The food's straightforward stuff done right, and the ales rotation means you've got reasons to keep coming back. With nearly 1,000 reviews and a solid 4.6 rating, it's clearly ticking all the boxes for people who just want a good pint and decent company in the city centre.
