On your way to Charles Fort, stop into the Spainard and grab a pint. It's very cozy and they are very welcoming.

Stopped here twice for a few drinks & some pub grub, which was very nice. The service is really good - staff are very friendly & accommodating. Overall, a great place to stop for a while!
