The Salutation

Walk into the Salutation and you'll get what a pub should be—no gimmicks, just good beer and better company. It's the kind of place where the bar staff remember what you were drinking last week, and locals gather to properly decompress after work rather than perform for Instagram. The crowd here is refreshingly mixed: you'll find pensioners nursing halves next to younger drinkers who actually appreciate a proper pub, all coexisting without the forced "craft" energy you get elsewhere in town. It's become a real backbone spot for the Carr Street area.
