The Gold Cape - JD Wetherspoon

You'll find The Gold Cape right on Wrexham Street, where it's been a steady fixture for locals who want uncomplicated pub grub without the pretence. The Wetherspoon formula works here—expect solid breakfasts, proper pints at prices that won't make you wince, and a menu that covers all bases from fish and chips to Thai curry. It's the sort of place where you'll bump into the same faces, whether you're popping in for a quick pint after work or settling in for a long session. The atmosphere's genuinely welcoming rather than sterile, which counts for something in a chain.
