The Gardeners Rest

You'll find yourself in Neepsend, that gritty-but-gentrifying pocket just north of the city centre, where The Gardeners Rest sits like a proper anchor. This isn't the kind of place doing Instagram theatrics—it's a solid, unfussy pub that takes its beer seriously and its community even more so. The kind of spot where regulars have their favourite seats and the bar staff know what you drink before you order.
