Pearsons Bar

Head down to Princes Avenue and you'll find yourself in one of those pubs that actually feels like it belongs to the people who live nearby rather than existing for Instagram purposes. Pearsons has that warm, slightly worn-in quality that comes from decades of being genuinely useful to the community—the kind of place where someone's probably been sitting in the same corner since 1987. You'll get decent ale, straightforward pub food, and conversation that doesn't feel forced. It's the sort of spot you stumble upon and think: why don't I come here more often?
