The city centre is the go-to spot for its convenience and variety, offering everything from classic pubs to trendy spots just a stone's throw from the shopping district. Harbourside is perfect if you want a lively vibe with stunning waterfront views, and it's great for summer parties. If you prefer somewhere a bit more upmarket, Clifton has a mix of stylish pubs located among its Georgian terraces. It's a quieter spot but with a great selection of places that make it worth the trip.
