Tappit Hen, Dunblaneback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
I thoroughly agree with the previous reviewer. This is easily the best pub in town. It enjoys a pleasant location overlooking the cathedral and the interior is a lovely, cosy, single room that was quite busy on our late Sunday afternoon visit. Live Premier League football was being shown on the TV. Ales were Greene King IPA, Ruddles Best, Williams Brothers Seven Giraffes, Broughton Greenmantle 70/- & Strathaven Clydesdale IPA. The barman was friendly and knowledgeable. I opted for the Greenmantle and without prompting, he asked if I was a CAMRA member and then gave me a discount off my ale. A very nice touch indeed. One of the best pubs on this visit to Scotland.

This is the jewel in Dunblane and leaves the other pubs in its wake. Unlike the Dunblane Hotel it is open all day and has 5 real ales available for customers at any one time. Has a blackboard giving details of what is being poured and what is due to be served next.
Only serves toasties so if you are looking for anything more substantial you are going to be out of luck.
Refurbished a couple of years or so ago, this is a clean, welcoming and well-run establishment serving some good ales.

As a follower of Thistle, I'd have bought jagsfan a beer had we overlapped in our visits. Lovely and comfortable pub on a street corner opposite the cathedral and close enough to the station to make a foray when travelling by train. There were four Scottish beers on for my last visit, from Williams Bros, Caledonian, Harviestoun and Kelburn, served by the friendly barman and with chatty locals. Certainly one of the best Perthshire pubs.

Had a very pleasant time at the beer festival here on Saturday. All �2.50 a pint, though no Scottish beers, funnily enough. I tried 12 and got the T-shirt.

Heard about this pub from the Folk in Scotland website. They have a folk evening each Tuesday. Music is traditional in nature and the group is very welcoming. Our first visit to Scotland and we really enjoyed the night.

Called in from Bridge of Allan in May as we were doing Good Beer Guide pubs in the area. This is a lovely old fashioned local near the cathedral, and we enjoyed a Stewart and Atlas beer from the selection available.

A very very friendly little pub. Good selection of ales and bottle largers, friendly and mixed crowd in terms of age. If you are in Dunblane definitely worth a quick visit. I expect you will stay longer than you intended.
