Drinks & Nightlife
The Union Tavern has one of the city’s largest ale collections and is just around the corner from our apartment. It's a fun social place to unwind with a pint or two and if you're feeling peckish, then the house-smoked BBQ food is a good choice. The Tavern has a cosy, heated canal-side terrace, and if you're a fan of live music then they host regular live music nights.
