The Gog and Magog - JD Wetherspoon

You're standing in what used to be a proper Victorian bank, all high ceilings and ornate features that make your average Wetherspoons feel a bit more special than usual. The Gog and Magog sits right on Southside Street, perfectly placed for pre-theatre drinks or post-shopping pints in the city centre. Yes, it's a Spoons, so you know exactly what you're getting - reliably cheap drinks, decent pub grub, and that familiar app-ordering system. But this one's got character in spades, housed in a building that actually deserves the grandeur. The breakfast menu runs until noon and it's hard to argue with a full English for under a fiver. Come evening, it fills up with a proper mix of locals, students, and anyone else who appreciates a honest pint without the fancy price tag.
