Quick info
About Market Arms
Market Arms is a traditional Scottish pub at 95 High St in Montrose, open daily. Singers perform live music on Sundays, so the pub works as a place to go for a drink and a show. Football plays on the screens for anyone who wants to follow a match, and an electronic darts board is available for a game. Cocktails have been added to the drinks selection. The pub no longer serves lunchtime food, so a visit centres on drinks, music and sport.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the friendly welcome from the bar staff, with the ladies at the bar described as warm and one bartender praised for handling situations well. Close behind is the atmosphere in this traditional Scottish pub in the centre of Montrose, called great and lovely by several. Live music gets repeated mention, with the Sunday singers described as always good, and one reviewer notes that all the football is shown. Drinkers mention a good choice, and cocktails are welcomed as a recent addition. One reviewer praises the very reasonably priced bar snacks, though others note that no food is served, and one regrets that lunchtime food has ended. A visitor from Doncaster says they have been up twice this year, and another enjoyed the electronic darts board.
