Drinking & Nightlife
Old Ale House
(Quay St; noon-11pm)
One of the last pubs in Truro to retain its traditional spit-and-sawdust
skin, burnished wood, beer mats and all. Guest ales are chalked on blackboards, and there
are live gigs at weekends.
PUB
Old Grammar School
(19 St Mary's St; 10am-late; )
Cool city bar, offering open-plan drinking with big tables
and soft sofas to sink into. Lunch is served from noon to 3pm; later it's cocktails, candles
and imported Belgian and Japanese beers.
PUB
Vertigo
(15 St Mary's St; 10am-late; )
Another of the buzzy bars around St Mary's St and Bridge
St; the selling point at Vertigo is the quirky decor and delightful walled garden.
BAR
Heron
(Malpas; 11am-3pm & 7-11pm)
Two miles from the city, this creekside pub serves good beer
and grub, with outside benches where you can sip your pint overlooking the river.
PUB

; 108c Kenwyn St; 7am-6pm Mon-Fri, 8am-6pm Sat)
Set up in
2011 by unapologetic coffee-nuts Paul and Michelle, this is the place for a caffeine fix in
Truro. The beans come courtesy of Cornwall's renowned coffee roasters Origin Coffee,
and the flat whites and espressos are as good as any the county has to offer (you can even
text your order ahead to save waiting). Light bites and cakes are also on offer.
CAFE
