Great food-market concept for street food, craft beers and coffees in the day, then dinner and cocktails/drinks in the evening. Just turn up – you can't reserve a table, and you can just stand and have a drink if you like.

Closest pub to the flat (2 mins away). Nice ales, very friendly people, and bands/DJs upstairs some nights. Doesn't have a kitchen, so you can bring takeaway in if you're hungry.
