Harleys American Bar & Grill

Head down Totnes Road towards the outskirts and you'll find yourself in Harleys, where they're doing the American diner thing without the irony. It's the kind of place where you can order a proper burger cooked how you want it, or dive into proper slow-cooked ribs that fall off the bone. The cocktail list isn't just afterthought mixers either—there's genuine effort behind the bar. Weekends get busy, locals keep coming back, and the vibe is relaxed enough that you're not fussed about dress codes, but polished enough that you're not eating off plastic plates.
