Walk ten minutes to the Bridge Tavern. This craft brewpub is reasonably priced and always busy. Order a pint from the regularly changing taps to start your evening.

Return to the gallery exterior. The setting sun casts a warm glow on the Edwardian Baroque architecture, offering a perfect photo opportunity before the night fully sets in.

Stroll ten minutes to the Crown Posada. This beautifully preserved 1880s pub features stained glass windows and a wood-panelled ceiling. Try a real ale from a local brewery in the vintage atmosphere.
