| This pub has the greatest potential of perhaps any Wetherspoons, and is such a let-down. 1. Real ale now at £2 a pint. Previously I could put up with the cråp atmosphere for £1.59 but for an extra 80p I'd now rather drink somewhere else. 2. Service is TERRIBLE, bar staff plentiful and incompetent. 3. people queue up in lines behind tills to be served sometimes, foreign tourists who get p!ssed off when you walk straight to the bar and order. Bar staff do nowt about it. 4. Always overcrowded. 5. Beer choice is terrible - always the same old tired Scottish breweries, putting out their own version of a 4.1% 80/- or pale ale. The bar has 18 handpumps, of which 6 are usually duplicates of other beers, the rest are all from the same Scottish breweries, never a dark one, never a string one, a mild, a stout, a porter or an interesting one from outside the border. There is not enough real ale choice in Scotland for The Standing Order to continue with this silly policy. Spodgey - 27 Aug 2008 12:55 |
| Good pint of bitter in a good atmosphere as in common with all pubs in Scotland, it it now mercifully "SMOKE Free". jbsjazzer - 3 Jul 2006 14:41 |
| Surprised to see the big screen tvs! I understood Wetherspoons to be devoid of this sort of thing , while I cant complain about the good range of cask beers, or the speed of service, the presence of these irritating screens and the VERY smoky atmosphere spoiled the experience for me! budvar_1 - 23 Mar 2006 01:27 |
| Thank god for Wethers!Got a few pints of tasty £1.59 stout during the beer festival before getting back to the £2.40-£2.70 pints in the old town. The haggis neeps & tatties was very good as well.1 main bar & 3 smaller rooms-well situated for having a stop off on a shopping trip. EdgarBriggsMI5 - 19 Nov 2005 22:34 |
| Should be called the moon due to the lack of any atmosphere. But at the prices it would be silly to complain. Bar staff are not great, do not seem to care who gets served first, and yes, the toilets are miles away! paultricky - 4 Oct 2005 13:24 |
