Doctor Duncan's

You walk into what feels like the city's most beautiful front room – all original Victorian tiles, ornate ceiling work and that warm glow that only comes from a pub that's been loved for over a century. The 1901 setting isn't just for show; this place has proper soul, with locals nursing pints alongside visitors who've stumbled upon something special. The menu does comfort food without the gastropub pretension – think hearty plates that actually fill you up, paired with a decent selection of craft beers that won't break the bank. When there's live music on, the acoustics work perfectly with those high ceilings, but it never gets so loud you can't have a proper conversation. It's the kind of place where you pop in for one and somehow end up staying until closing.
