The Market Tavern in Watford

Ah, The Market Tavern – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local hideaway in the heart of Watford. From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's got this lovely, chilled atmosphere where you can easily strike up a chat with folks, and the staff are spot on, always making you feel right at home. The beer selection is a real highlight, with a good range of real ales that hit the spot, and it's brilliant for watching live sports or even bringing your dog along for the ride. Prices are fair too, so it's easy on the wallet for a casual evening. On the flip side, though, the gents' toilets need some serious attention – a bit of a shame when the rest is so inviting. And parking's a hassle, as it often is in busy areas, but once you're in, it's worth it for the welcoming feel. Overall, it's a solid choice if you're after a traditional pub experience with a warm crowd, just keep those minor downsides in mind for a balanced visit.
