Description

You can't miss this large pub - there's an enormous statue of a white bear suspended above the door! It's a great spot to come on a sunny day, when you can sit outside in the shady, cobbled courtyard. You may have to fight for a seat though, this is a very popular place amongst students, hospital staff (there are two hospitals nearby), professionals and old locals alike - who all come here for its quieter, peaceful setting, away from the hubbub of the city centre.

Added to the well-stocked bar, there's also a food menu (served midday-9pm Mon-Thu and midday-8pm Fri) that draws lunchtime crowds. Look out for their Belt Busters - large traditional pub-grub meals, such as fish and chips, costing just £2 and available from midday-2pm.
