The Flute

Walk into The Flute and you've stepped into the kind of pub that doesn't need to try too hard. Hardman Street's got character for days, and this place slots right in with that no-nonsense, proper-local energy. You'll find real ale on tap, the sort of crowd who actually know the bar staff's names, and none of that overthought gastropub nonsense—just good drinking in a space that's been doing its thing for ages. It's the pub you'd take a mate to if they asked where you actually go, not where the guidebooks send you.
