Surprising little upmarket craft beer house right on the edge of the University campus.

Bad Apples

Very dark rock bar where you can get 15% off for being a wanker.

Baby Jupiter

Great beer choice and a well-executed 1960s theme make this one of the financial quarter’s best offerings.

A music (and hot dog) venue on the Call Lane strip. Nice amenities, but just so-so beer.

Definitely a chain pub but somewhat nicer than most of its kind. Ridiculously cheap food too!
