The Chequers

You'll find The Chequers tucked away on Park Street, in that stretch where proper pubs still outnumber craft cocktail bars. It's the kind of place where regulars have their spot at the bar and the landlord actually knows what you drink. The pub's got that comfortable, worn-in feel—sticky carpets and all—that comes from genuinely being a community hub rather than trying to look like one. Whether you're in for a quick pint after work or settling in for the evening, you're getting honest booze and honest company.
