A warm, well-run neighbourhood pub in Linden that locals genuinely love for its unpretentious atmosphere, solid craft beer selection, and reliable pub food. It's the kind of place where the staff know regulars by name and the vibe is more about good company than being seen. Linden is slightly off the tourist trail which only adds to its authenticity, though it means you'll need a car or Uber to get there.
