7000 Jars of Beer

You'll find yourself on Crown Passage, that quiet stretch between the Market Place and the riverside action, stepping into what feels like a proper neighbourhood spot rather than just another boozer. The whole appeal here is unashamed – they're obsessed with beer in a way that's infectious rather than gatekeepy. Whether you're after a crisp lager, a challenging IPA, or something completely left-field from a Belgian brewery you've never heard of, the team actually knows their stuff and can guide you through without making you feel daft. It's become the kind of place where regulars genuinely hang, but newcomers feel welcome to experiment.
