The Study Room

You'll find The Study Room tucked away on Church Street, just far enough from the city centre buzz that it feels like a proper neighbourhood spot rather than a tourist trap. Step inside and you're met with the kind of woody, lived-in interior that makes you want to settle in with a drink and stay for hours—think dark wood, cosy corners, and shelves of books that give the place its name. The food's the real draw though: proper gastropub cooking that doesn't overthink itself, executed with enough care that you'll actually want to come back. It's the sort of place where locals genuinely hang out, not just pass through.
