Coalheavers Arms

You'll find the Coalheavers tucked away on Park Street, just far enough from the city centre chaos that it feels like a proper local's pub rather than somewhere that's trying too hard. Walk in and you'll clock the traditional setup — wooden fixtures, genuine ale selection, and the kind of crowd that's been coming here for years. It's the sort of place where the bar staff know what you want before you ask, where there's usually a proper chat happening, and where the beer actually tastes like someone's chosen it with care rather than just taking whatever's cheapest.
