About Settle Inn
Settle Inn is a bar in Stirling, set in an old building at 91 St Mary's Wynd on the way up to Stirling Castle. Live Scottish folk and traditional music plays in the back area, and a Wednesday folk night gives the room a regular date for musicians and listeners. Tables sit at the front for those who prefer to talk over a drink. Guinness comes from two taps, one regular and one extra cold, and the bar also keeps a range of beers and whiskies. The pub serves drinks only and has no food. A fireplace is part of the room. The bar is open daily.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the welcome from the people behind the bar, describing a friendly, funny bartender who helped with choices and staff who recommend which Guinness tap, regular or extra cold, gets the most use. Close behind is the drink range, with several praising the beers and whisky, though one finds the whisky selection small for a Scottish pub. A fireplace and a warm, quaint interior come up repeatedly, and a Wednesday Scottish folk music night brings a session of traditional tunes and acapella singing. Reviewers note there is no food, and one asks visitors to sit down and buy a drink rather than just look around or use the toilet. One reviewer's wife noticed a stale smell of sweat, beer and old smoke. Another, caught in the rain, was offered a coat by the fire, dry clothes and an umbrella.

“Nice old pub, great selection of whisky and beers. Park at carpark at bottom of the hill and walk up..wet your whistle here while your family visit the castle”
- Francis John
“Nice pub, small selection of whiskey for a Scottish pub but staff are friendly and will recommend which Guinness tap has the most usage (regular and extra cold) no food only booze and a good atmosphere. Solid pub.”
- Gustavo Ciacco
“An incredibly welcoming pub, thanks in no small part to the lady behind the bar, who was friendly, funny, and made us feel right at home. The beer selection is excellent: varied, carefully chosen, and surprisingly affordable. A good enough reason to move to Stirling.”
- Jamie Smart
“Didn't have food,service was good let us in early as he was just about to open was a flying visit. Obviously can't comment on atmosphere as it had just opened. Still a pleasant visit if we had more time we would go back.”

“It’s a wonderful place we stopped by on the way to Stirling Castle. The bartender was very kind and helped us a lot with our choices. It was a great venue and I definitely recommend it. I also really liked the interior design.”
