Quick info
About Southesk Inn
Southesk Inn is a pub on Wharf St in Montrose, taking walk-ins rather than bookings. The bar keeps things simple, with Tennent on tap for those after a straightforward pint. A step-free entrance opens the space to visitors with mobility needs, and outdoor seating gives an option for drinking outside. Dogs are welcome inside, so patrons don't need to leave pets at home. There's no need to arrange a table in advance, since the inn operates on a first-come basis throughout its hours.

Customer Review Summary
Friendly bar staff are the draw reviewers raise most at this harbourside inn, with several describing service with a smile and a welcome that extends to both staff and fellow customers. One woman visiting on her own says she felt comfortable walking in after a walk to Montrose Basin, and another says it is hard not to pop in when passing, noting it is always clean. Drinks come next, with reviewers praising a fabulous selection, good beer and lovely cocktails, while one visitor singles out a cappuccino despite a language barrier. A cheese platter earns a mention on a sunny afternoon, and the outdoor seating gets a nod too. One guest who stayed says the rooms sit above the pub but you wouldn't know it, and calls the place quirky. Another did not try the food, and no recurring complaints appear. Reviewers close on the sunny afternoon pairing of beer, cocktails and a cheese platter.
