Prince of Wales

Walk down Old Town on a Friday evening and you'll find the Prince of Wales doing what it does best: being exactly the kind of pub you actually want to drink in. It's not trying too hard, but it's clearly trying — the sort of place where locals genuinely hang out rather than tourists hunting for Instagram fodder. You get proper cocktails if you fancy them, a decent wine list that doesn't break the bank, and the kind of food that works brilliantly when you're three pints deep. The space has that lived-in charm that only comes from years of people actually enjoying themselves there, and the staff move with the easy confidence of a team that knows what they're doing.
