King William IV

You'll find yourself on Eyre Street, just far enough from the city centre madness that the King William IV feels like it belongs to the people who live round here, not the stag dos. Walk in and you're met with the kind of pub interior that doesn't try too hard—traditional fixtures, a proper bar, the hum of actual conversation. The real ale selection punches above its weight for a neighbourhood spot, and the food arrives unpretentious but well-made. It's the sort of place where regulars have their spots, but newcomers don't feel out of place. Nearly 1,000 reviews averaging 4.7 stars tells you something worth knowing: people keep coming back.
