The Castle

Walk into The Castle and you'll immediately get why people stick around. It's the kind of pub where regulars have their spots, the landlord knows what you're drinking before you ask, and nobody's trying to be clever about it. Union Street's got that lived-in feel anyway, and this place leans into it completely—honest pints, straightforward vibes, zero pretension. You'll find yourself chatting to whoever's next to you at the bar, whether that's a builder or a retired teacher. It's the pub equivalent of a comfortable jumper.
