I agree about The Mitre and the Kneipes. I popped in after Bardsleys and was made very welcome. Me and my friend has quite a laugh in there with the land lady and the punters and the Harvey's did seem very well kept and fresh.
I'm not the biggest fan of Harvey's and haven't touched their stuff for years. But, I found myself sitting at the bar of The Mitre on Friday night, with a pint of best, and thoroughly enjoyed it.
