The Rocking Chair

Proper pub on Waterloo Street where locals actually gather—live music, decent pints, and zero pretence.

You'll find yourself on Waterloo Street watching folks drift in and out of The Rocking Chair like they've done it a hundred times before. It's the kind of place where the bar staff know what you drink before you ask, where someone's always got a guitar leaning against something, and where you can actually hear yourself think between the sessions. The vibe shifts depending on when you're in—quiet enough for a midweek pint, properly buzzing when there's live music on. It's decorated with the kind of character that comes from actual use, not design meetings.
