The King's Tun - JD Wetherspoon

You know the spot—right there on Clarence Street where you can roll in at lunchtime and grab a decent pint and pie for under a tenner, or swing by after work when the place fills up with locals who actually live here rather than just passing through. The King's Tun does what it does without pretension: serves cold beer, hot food, and asks no questions. The kind of place where you'll see the same faces at the bar, where the staff know the regulars, and where you can comfortably spend two hours nursing a drink without anyone making you feel like you should order another round. It's got that lived-in, comfortable feeling that comes from being genuinely local—wood-panelled walls, decent-sized windows onto the street, and enough space to actually move around.
