A friendly local tavern which is hugely popular with the locals. It is LGBT friendly and has a quiet suntrap of a beer garden.

The prices are very reasonable and if you’re vegan they have quite a substantial food offering.

With it’s own cinema room, stage and gin bar, the Old Market Assembly is where it tends to all be happening in Old Market.

Open 7 days a week, often with some kind of themed night also on offer, this is a jewel in Old Markets crown. Not to mention it has a large sun terrace on the roof which is a glorious place to be on a warm summers day.

Soon to be our neighbours at our new aparthotel at Shepherd’s Hall, The Longbar is a Grade II listed pub and if you prefer an older more mature crowd then this place would certainly be right up your street.

…and if you’re thinking the Il Repute might be your cup of tea then once you’ve drank the bar dry, you can stumble around the corner to To The Moon. Another chilled, playful drinkerie which will take you into the early hours.

There’s also often a dance available here too should you want to let your hair down.

Know for a real good buzz most nights of the week, The Phoenix has all your favourite plus a great selection of local ales, lagers and everything else that you’d expect from a awesome pub.

The service is always on form and the staff are always friendly and bubbly. They also regularly host some themed nights which are always a laugh if you’re into that kind thing.
