The Grain & Hop Store

A big, central pub right on the edge of Parker’s Piece that leans fully into the social side of things. This is where you end up when the plan is loose, the group is growing, and no one’s quite ready to call it a night.

Inside, it’s spacious and modern with plenty going on — craft beers, cocktails, stacked pub food, and screens showing whatever big match is pulling a crowd that day. It’s got that easy, come-and-go feel, with different pockets of energy depending on where you land.

Good for when the walk turns into something more social. Dogs are part of the setup too, slotting in while you settle into the buzz. Lively, central, and built for staying longer than intended.
