The New Britannia Inn

You're walking into a proper local's pub here—the kind where regulars know the bar staff by name and the beer selection actually means something. The New Britannia sits on Heatley Street in that quieter part of town, away from the Fishergate madness, and that's precisely its charm. They've got real ales on rotation (not the same tired lager selection you'll find everywhere else), decent pub food that doesn't overcomplicate things, and a room that feels lived-in rather than designed. It's the sort of place you'd genuinely want to come back to, especially if you're after a pint that tastes like it was made somewhere north of London.
