White Hart Pub

Hope Street's got a certain swagger to it, and the White Hart slots in perfectly amongst the Georgian architecture and independent shops. You're walking into the kind of place that feels properly lived-in—dark wood, that specific pub smell that's equal parts beer and history, and enough character in the walls to keep you entertained between rounds. It's the sort of spot where you can nurse a pint for hours without anyone making you feel like you need to order something else, but the food's decent enough that you'll want to anyway. Locals prop up the bar like they own the place, which frankly, they kind of do.
