Shipmans

You'll find Shipmans tucked on the Drapery—that's the street where actual locals still hang out, not where the stag dos congregate. Walk in and it feels like a pub should: wood, conversation, decent ales on tap, and no attempt at being something it isn't. The crowd's mixed but everyone's there for the same reason—good drinks and better company. It's the kind of place where the bar staff remember your name by your third visit and the playlist doesn't assault your ears.
