The Big Jug
This city pub is known for its welcoming environment and vibrant ambiance, particularly during the weekends. It attracts a diverse crowd, including local residents, students, and tourists, creating a unique and lively atmosphere. One of the main attractions of this pub is the live band performances every Friday, making it one of the city's top destinations for music lovers. However, as of August 2018, the pub has been experiencing issues with its real ale lines, resulting in a temporary discontinuation of this offering. The management is actively working on resolving this issue and hopes to reintroduce real ale to their menu in the future. As of January 2022, the pub operates on an irregular schedule. We recommend checking with the pub for their current operating hours before planning your visit. Despite these minor setbacks, the pub continues to be a beloved spot in the city, known for its lively atmosphere and excellent live music.
