The Rainbow's recent change of ownership has brought a real focus on beer, especially those from local breweries. With a great beer garden and live tunes most nights of the week, its a great destination. The Fox is a great local, that offers some incredibe drops. It's kitchen if better than the average pub and its rooftop deck is perfect for those warmer nights (heated in winter). Their beer collection that line the walls is one of the best in the city.
