Black Lion

You head down North Street and the Black Lion is exactly what you want from a seaside pub — no pretension, just good beer and better company. The kind of place where regulars prop up the bar nursing pints and the staff actually know your name. You can settle in with a proper ale from their carefully chosen selection, or grab something warming from their food menu that doesn't overthink things. It's the sort of spot that's kept its character while the rest of the seafront's changed around it, which locals genuinely appreciate.
