The City Arms

Walk past the Cathedral and you'll find yourself on Wells' main artery, where The City Arms sits anchoring the High Street like it has for decades. This is the kind of place where the regulars know the bar staff's names and tourists stumble in grateful for somewhere genuine. You'll get proper cask ales on rotation, the sort of thing the real ale enthusiasts actually care about, and honest pub food that hits the spot without any faffing about. It's got that lived-in comfort of a proper local, the kind where conversations flow and you don't feel pressured to leave after one drink.
