A terrific pub with a good range of excellent real ales. We really enjoyed the Tradewinds beer, the friendly bar staff and the footie on the big screens. Perhaps the best pub in town?

An attractive looking stone-built pub right at the top of Castle Street, and with great views across to the castle. At the front is a decent sized patio with plenty of bench tables and chairs, a wrought ironwork gazebo at the rear and an attractive selection of hanging baskets and plant troughs. There is even a small bar counter here, although this was not in use on our visit. A blackboard listed not only the current beer offerings, but also those that were “coming soon”.

The pub itself is remarkably small, with a single bar. There are plenty of pictures on the walls, a plasma mounted high up, a fruit machine and an attractive wood panelled bar. Upstairs is a separate restaurant area with some wood panelling, red drape curtains and plenty of squashed in tables and chairs. There is an extensive pub grub menu and a small specials board. What we had was decent enough and generous portions, but perhaps a little on the expensive side – a Scampi & chips was over £9.

Beers on this occasion were Atlas Nimbus, Orkney Best, Midsummer Madness, Sun Dance and Dark Munro. The solitary cider was Olde English.

Friendly enough pub, although there only ever seemed to be one person behind the bar at any one time, so get stuck behing a large order and you could have a bit of a wait. Luckily I was in no hurry, so just waited patiently, and the beer was dedfinitely woth the few minutes wait. Nice location, it was nice sitting in the garden, and I could not fault the beer. Definitely worth a visit.

Rammed with football fans (and subsequently relegated to the chilly garden), the beer at least made up for it. Dark Island is normally reliable in any case. Despite being busy, the crowd were pleasant enough.

Went in again last Friday. My mate and I had a pint of Wildcat and then Tradewinds, both of which were excellent. The food was fantastic. I had the steak and ale pie and it was cooked to perfection. My mate had the venison, which he thoroughly enjoyed. Both came with veg and salad and not an iceberg lttuce in sight. Brilliant. Can't praise the place too highly.
