About The Ugly Duck
Run as a busy pub, The Ugly Duck sits at 38 High St in Paisley. Steak night brings steak fries to the table, while karaoke gives the pub a singing element for anyone who wants to join in. On the drinks side, cocktails and pints are both part of the offer. The venue is classed as both a bar and a restaurant, so a meal and a round of drinks can happen at the same address.

“Three of us in for steak night, cocktails and pints, we were served by Sarah, 5 stars for her alone!! Some people should be no where near the public, Sarah is not one of them. The food did not disappoint either, thats with 1 chef, 1 fussy duck and 1 birthday boy at the table :)”
