Decorative pub in the city centre with beautiful fixtures, tiling and windows. The beer range was pretty staid on our visit, which seems to be quite normal by the looks, but well served. More about the pub than the beer here, certainly worth a visit.

When I’ve got colleagues up from down south I always take them here for the fabulous traditional decor before heading off somewhere with a little more choice. Beers are always well kept but tend to be familiar.

Visited on 7/6/2011. Attractive mirrored bar with stained glass and ceramic feature. Four real ales were on offer and service efficient. Beer quality was fine.

Traditional bar next door to the Guildford Arms. Beautiful decor, excellent service. Bank of 4 hand pumps on either side of the bar serving well cared for well known Scottish Real Ales. Worth a visit but not up to the standard of its neighbour.

Lovely pub interior and bar but not quite as spectacular as the Guilford Arms, which is very close by. So it’s great to visit two early 20th century design gems at once. The beer selection was unexciting here, but kept well.

Four guest ales on tap: Kelburn Red Smiddy, Kelburn Dark Moor, Deuchars IPA and Harviestoun Bitter & Twisted. Very good raw oysters. Sat at the bar and had nice conversation as well as recommendations from the barman and waiters. Loved the place.

Decorated in Victorian style with big bar in the middle of the room. A bit sloppy waitress which managed to spill a whole pint of my beer on her colleague. Found just one new (Lia Fail).

Loved this place. Great atmosphere, great crowd. Only suggestion would be that the staff behind the bar should know more about the beer they’re serving. Cask beers and real ales are rotated regularly, and staff should know a bit about the styles in order to encourage patrons to try a new product.

Wonderfull building with some standard ales... Worth a visit or at least a look in the Window for it history and superb interior.
