A now and overlooked and sadly forgotten pub to see is Imperial, Howard St.
Almost the last of of its noble type, classic victorian bar styling, sumptious stained glass and the genuine paddle nameplate of the RMPS Columba adorning the far wall.
The guiness is always the best amidst the chemical slosh, though their McEwans Export is still tasty. Also check out the whimsical Wizard of Oz sculptures atop the ecclesiastical gantry.
