The Newshouse

You're down on Canal Street where the water runs past and the city feels a bit removed from the madness up top. The Newshouse is the kind of place where locals actually drink—no airs, no Instagram angles, just good beer and better company. It's a Castle Rock operation, so you know the ale list will be taken seriously; these folks understand their craft. The interior has that lived-in comfort of somewhere that's been doing things right for years, dark wood and that particular warmth you only get from a pub that's genuinely welcoming rather than trying to be.
