Masons Yard 24

Walk down Stramongate and you'll spot Masons Yard 24 tucked away with the kind of understated presence that suggests the regulars outnumber the tourists by about ten to one. Inside, it's the kind of place where the bar staff know what you're having before you order it, the lighting doesn't blind you, and conversations actually happen without competing against a blaring playlist. You'll find a solid selection of ales on tap, pub classics that hit the mark, and a genuinely relaxed atmosphere whether you're after a quick pint after work or settling in for the evening.
