Ellwyn, Grangemouth

Brutal. Avoid, or expect to see one's life expectancy plummet.
Don't even stop in my car to use the cash machine over the road here, it's that bad.

The Auld Tonn Tavern, Grangemouth

Good lager. Well run pub.
Some people say the Auld Tooners are unfriendly, but I haven't found this, and I'm not a native. I didn't go in acting like I owned the place, which may well be the difference though. Respect them, they'll leave you alone.
This place was much better when it had a pool table, but apparently there were two many fights?
Can be a bit empty at weekends these days, but is pleasant to sit outside during periods of good weather.
Not been in the restaurant, but the bar food was good enough. Would prob venture to Wallace's for dinner if I got hungry out that way though.

Laffertys, Grangemouth

Do you like to fight?
Are you averse to intelligent conversation?
Yes?
Then get yourself down the Tav, you'll be right at home!
I'll be honest, this place can, CAN, be ok through the week, when it's empty and you can watch the football without fear of being assaulted.
At weekends however, wow. I didn't even know these people existed in Grangemouth. It's a saddening experience in here on weekends. You almost WANT beat up just so you can escape the misery and enjoy the sweet sweet nothingness that is a coma.
I'll give this a 4, just because I can't give it a 3, like Wetherspoon's.
