The Masters Bar

South Street's had a bit of a shake-up over the past few years, and The Masters Bar slots in nicely amongst the independent shops and cafes round there. You're walking into something that feels genuinely lived-in—dark wood, proper bar setup, the sort of lighting that doesn't make you squint at your phone. It's run by Craft Union, so they know their way around a decent pint, but this isn't some self-conscious craft beer temple. It's a proper pub that happens to stock good stuff alongside the standards. The food's solid rather than showy, the kind of thing you'd actually want to eat with a drink, and the crowd's a decent mix of after-work types, regulars who've claimed their spots, and people popping in because they like the vibe.
