The Greyhound

You'll find The Greyhound doing what it does best on Water Street—being the kind of pub where regulars have their usual spot and the bar staff know what you're drinking before you ask. It's straightforward stuff: decent ales, honest food, and the sort of atmosphere that doesn't need gimmicks or Instagram moments to justify itself. The crowd here is mixed—you'll catch pensioners nursing pints alongside younger locals, which says something about a place that actually works for the neighbourhood rather than chasing trends.
