This pub is akin to the current Scottish football team - going nowhere. It purports to sport a Scottish theme but much of the memorabilia (like this pub) look seriously ancient and well past their sell-by date. Dalglish is quite correct with his/her comments. I have seen more life in a graveyard at 2.00am in the morning than existed in this pub at 10.00pm the other evening.

A scottish theme pub!!
Characterless, soulless place selling dodgy lager. The Royal Exchange acroos the road is a much better option.

Not sure I'd seen a Scottish pub in London before. A fairly unexceptional interior albeit quite a good collection of Scottish memorabilia on the walls. Deuchars IPA and (less Scottishly) 6X on the pumps: bog standard pub food with "Highland stew" the only nod north of the border.

An essential visit when Aberdeen or Scotland are playing but nothing special otherwise. It's always a treat to find a Deuchars IPA (the only IPA worth drinking!) in London, and it and the 6X which accompanies it always seem to be well kept.

The food is average pub grub, fairly priced.

Basically if you're an Aberdeen and/or Scotland fan looking for somewhere in town to watch the footie, you could do a lot worse, although it gets HEAVING for the internationals.

Stand free!

a very good pub friendly and stock a good range of drinks slightly spoiled when there is football on tv but unfortunately that seams to be the norm now

without doubt this is the finest pub in all of london town. The staff are sooo friendly that they make you never want to leave, they sell Bulmers (mmmm, my favourite) and the scoff is so fine. Friday nights really rock and they have shown every celtic champions league game (even though it is an Aberdeen pub).
Be warned though, they get really busy when scotland play!
well worth losing yourself for a couple of hours

Great for watching the Scotland games, but best avoided the rest of the time. Distinctly average food, poor selection of beer and a complete lack of character. There are many many more interesting pubs in the area than this one!

Good food, good ale, good jukebox, good barstaff. Very busy early evening though.

Not bad - but no longer any decent beers - all they had was courage best, and 'calders cream ale'. What happened to the bottles of 80' and 90'?

A little bit of Scotland in the heart of Sassenach country. The place is absolutely bouncing when Scotland or Aberdeen are on the TV. Visit then.

A pretty decent pub. Good food, decor etc. Slightly miserable bar staff though
