THE TAP ROOM

Head down Castle Drive towards Cimla and you'll find The Tap Room doing what it does best: pouring decent pints without the theatre. This is where you come when you want to sit with a drink that tastes like a drink, not a chemistry experiment. The vibe's refreshingly unpretentious—no craft cocktail menus longer than a Sunday paper, no Instagram bait. Just good company, reliable ales, and the kind of place that's clearly beloved by locals who've given it a near-perfect rating. It's the sort of bar that rewards repeat visits and remembers what you ordered last time.
