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.
