Metro Bar

You're stepping into Bank Place territory here — right in the heart of things, where Metro's been doing what it does best for years: being the kind of pub where everybody knows your name (or at least your order). It's the sort of place that doesn't try too hard, which is precisely why it works. You'll get a decent pint, friendly bar staff who actually seem pleased you've walked in, and enough regulars to give it that lived-in atmosphere that chain pubs spend thousands trying to fake. Whether you're after a quiet weeknight pint or catching up with mates, it slots in nicely.
