The Roundabout

You're heading down to Drake Circus and you want somewhere that feels like a real pub, not some corporate chain trying too hard. The Roundabout gets it—it's the kind of place where you can grab a pint and actually enjoy it, whether you're meeting mates after work or settling in for something to eat. The kitchen's putting out proper food that doesn't disappear into the background, and the social aspect of it all means there's always a decent buzz without feeling like you're fighting for space. It's become the sort of spot locals keep coming back to, which says everything.
