The Brunswick

You'll find this North Street stalwart doing exactly what a good local should: serving proper beer without the craft beer wankery, and food that hits the spot without trying to reinvent the wheel. The kind of place where you pop in for one and somehow end up having the best Tuesday evening you've had in months. The Brunswick knows its lane and stays firmly in it. Whether you're settling in for Sunday lunch or grabbing a quick pint after work, there's something reassuringly unfussy about the whole operation. The regulars treat newcomers like old friends, and the staff actually seem to enjoy working there – always a good sign.
