The Dolphin Hotel

Park Street's got a few decent spots, but The Dolphin stands out because it actually feels like a place where people want to be rather than somewhere you stumble into. You'll find yourself in a traditional pub that's refreshingly unpretentious—the kind where regulars know the staff and newcomers feel welcome within five minutes. The Hop Back connection means the beer selection is genuinely worth talking about; these aren't mass-produced lagers, but proper local brews that change seasonally. The food's straightforward and decent, the sort of thing that pairs well with a pint without demanding your full attention.
