Hand of Glory

Clapton's got plenty going on these days, but the Hand of Glory feels like it predates all the fuss. You'll find yourself in a place that takes its drinks seriously without the pretension—the sort of spot where regulars actually talk to each other, and the bartenders remember what you had last week. It's the kind of pub that works equally well for a solo pint or settling in with mates for a proper session. The vibe is effortlessly relaxed, with just enough character to make you want to come back.
