Ailsa Tavern

Walk into the Ailsa and you'll find exactly what a neighbourhood pub should be—no Instagram filters, no twee gastropub nonsense. The place has that lived-in comfort of somewhere that's been pulling pints for years, where regulars know their spot at the bar and the staff remember your usual. St Margarets has decent options, but this is where you come for straightforward drinking and eating without the pretension. The sort of place where you can nurse a real ale or grab something proper from the kitchen, and nobody's going to judge you for either choice.
