Increasingly good range of well kept, unusual and new beers from Scottish brewers!

I'll always have a soft spot for this place because my husband used to chat with me on the free WiFi at the Judge way back in 2003. It's cozy, central, and has outdoor seating for warm summer nights.Upvote2Downvote
Lisa KlerhedJuly 20, 2016Nice small pub, recommend if you want to get away from the tourists. Was there during cider festival. Their range of beer and cider is well above average.Upvote1Downvote

Rachel KJuly 3, 2016Old dark, slightly damp basement pub which might be exactly what you'd want, or is too depressing and smelly. Does have good local beer selection.UpvoteDownvote
- Chris MeechanNovember 27, 2023Too cramped and is probably never quiet enough to enjoy a laid back pint which is unfortunate as they had a decent beer selectionUpvoteDownvote
Kat DadswellNovember 12, 2011Lovely selection of whiskies, don't miss out. Great roaring fire inside too :)Upvote2Downvote

Sheila SatoSeptember 20, 2014I didn't like, expensive with not many options for tap beer and the outside sittings smell bad.UpvoteDownvote
LoPavloAugust 22, 2014Mucho calor dentro... pero en la terracita en verano se está de lujo!UpvoteDownvote
