Appleby's

Head up Shedden Hill towards the quieter end of town and you'll find Appleby's tucked inside the Heritage Hotel—the sort of place that doesn't need to shout about itself. It's where you'll see the same faces propping up the bar on a Wednesday afternoon as you will on Saturday night, which tells you everything about its reputation locally. The vibe is unpretentious and genuinely welcoming; you won't find craft cocktails or Instagram-bait here, just honest pub standards and a clientele who know what they're after. It's the kind of spot where the bartender remembers your order and the conversation flows as easily as the ales.
