Whether you’re taking a break from the Parade, meeting friends before the celebrations begin, or simply need somewhere to raise a glass after a day of dancing, the city’s beer gardens are ready to welcome you. From seafront terraces to hidden rooftops and sunny pub gardens, here are some of our favourite spots to enjoy a Pride weekend pint.
