Another selection of fine ales last Saturday, kept ot perfection as usual, which showed as place was full to bursting. Service still slow, but that's to be expected with table service for drinks and food and only 1 wee lassie serviing. Couldnt get a table for 1 so had a wait, but ales were worth it. The smell of the toilets mingled with the aroma of fish soup was unpleasant to say the least but the atmosphere in this wee place is always worth a visit. Just bring a peg for the nose!

Also popped in same evening as previous gentleman, what a nightmare, very rude young man behind bar along with the performing barmaid, spent too much time chatting to each other to pay attention to customers. Left after waiting 10 minutes trying to get second drink, to no avail. Ale that did have was exceptionally good. Shame couldn't be said about the new staff.

Visited a couple of times recently, good range of beers, as usual. Shame the wee barmaid didn't put as much energy into knowing what they were, as she did into chatting, too busy talking and performing gymnastics off bar. Still it was entertaining for a wee while. CAlled in again Saturday gone, once more beers were all different and of good quality, pub very busy, but that didn't stop barman enjoying his pint behind the bar. A good advert for the quality of ale if staff can't wait until off duty before imbibing, but not the usual practice in here. Brew dog showcase great for those who like it, not everyone's favourite ale. Always worth a visit thought if only for the entertainment and the ever changing bar staff.
