The Mission

You're walking down Posterngate in the Old Town and you need somewhere that actually feels like a local's pub, not a theme park. The Mission delivers that—a straightforward boozer that takes its drinks seriously and doesn't mess about with the food either. It's the kind of place where you'll find regulars nursing pints alongside people popping in for lunch, and everyone seems equally welcome. The crowd here is mixed and unpretentious; you're as likely to bump into suits as you are students.
