Bars worth the walk

Not a tourist trail, just the spots I end up in after a long week of claim forms and fella-says-the-ceiling-fell-in-itself stories. Mostly local, mostly quiet enough to read in, and all able to put on a match without turning the place into a sports bar. The Cobblestone's survival fight a few years back put the fear in us all, so support your locals while they're still standing, in fairness.
