A firm favourite since 1895, the 'Three Steps' is inevitably packed with young patrons spilling out of its two-room interior and into the street. Its a perfect spot to enjoy an afternoon drink or a simple meal of cheese, salami and home-style mains (including vegan and gluten-free options), washed down with excellent choices of beer or wine by the glass.
