The Dragon

You'll find this place right in the thick of Long Row's bustle, and it's exactly what a city centre pub should be – unpretentious, welcoming, and reliable. The kind of spot where you can pop in for a quick pint after work or settle in for the evening without anyone batting an eyelid. What sets The Dragon apart from the chain pubs scattered around town is its genuine atmosphere. The staff actually know their regulars, the beer's well-kept, and there's none of that forced quirkiness you get elsewhere. It's got that lived-in feel that takes decades to develop properly – worn wooden floors, mismatched furniture, and the sort of comfortable shabbiness that money can't buy.
