The Racing Greyhound

You'll find The Racing Greyhound tucked away on Hereson Road, away from the seafront hustle, which is precisely why it works. This is the kind of place where you can nurse a pint without feeling like you're performing for tourists, where the regulars have their spots and the staff remember what you drank last week. The walls have got character—you know, actual history rather than Instagram-bait—and there's a genuine sense that this pub exists for the people who live round here, not for anyone else's entertainment. Food-wise, they do proper pub fare that doesn't pretend to be anything it's not.
