The Sun

You'll find yourself wedged between the vintage furniture shops and independent cafes of Old Town, pushing through the door of this bustling corner pub that somehow feels like it's been serving the same regulars for generations—even if you've never been before. The Sun has that rare quality of being genuinely unpretentious; you can rock up in your gym kit or Sunday best and fit right in. The bar's lined with proper ales, the kitchen does honest pub food done well, and there's enough of a crowd on any given evening to feel sociable without it tipping into stag-do territory. It's the kind of place where you accidentally spend three hours because the conversation's good and your pint keeps getting refilled before you notice.
