Sinclair's Bar

Sinclair's is a solid choice if you're after a dependable spot on Lord Street for a pint. It's got a 4.2 rating from around 60 Google reviews, so you know it's not just me saying it. Open from 11am every day, and they keep the doors open until midnight on Friday and Saturday.

It's not a fancy cocktail bar, more of a relaxed pub atmosphere. Gets pretty lively on weekends, but during the week it's a good place to chill. They've got a decent selection of beers and the usual spirits. It's one of those places where you can easily spend a few hours without realising.

I'd say it's pretty dog-friendly too, I've seen a few in there. The website is sinclairsbar.co.uk if you want to check out their menu. Give them a ring on 01704 808182 if you're planning on going with a big group, especially on a Friday or Saturday, just to make sure they can squeeze you in.
