Quick info
About The Bawbee
On Henderson St in Stirling, The Bawbee is a cocktail bar and restaurant with a small plates menu built for sharing across a 32-dish list. Sticky Cauliflower and Burrata start things off, while Shetland Mussels and Confit Duck Leg anchor the mains. Weekend nights bring live entertainment, whether a DJ, jazz band, or singer, alongside the food and drink. The entrance is step-free and wheelchair accessible, and outdoor seating extends the room for dining outside. The bar is dog friendly, so pets are welcome alongside diners. It opens Thursday to Sunday and stays closed Monday through Wednesday, and reservations are recommended given the weekend entertainment draw. Steak flatbread with loaded fries rounds out the sharing options on the menu.

Customer Review Summary
Cocktails and small plates draw steady praise at The Bawbee, with the mussels singled out by one visitor and a steak flatbread with loaded fries recalled fondly by another. Live music, whether a DJ, jazz band, piano, or singer, comes up repeatedly as part of the draw, alongside generous portions and service most describe as lovely or superb. A few note staff could be more attentive at busy times, and one visit reported disappointing food, with reheated-tasting fries, thin puff pastry, over-salted fish and steak, and a Caesar salad that was mostly dressing, though that reviewer hadn't sampled the drinks. One other review alludes to unspecified recurring negatives despite calling the staff lovely. Regulars mention returning for brunch, small plates, or mains, with more than one planning to come back for the atmosphere and entertainment.
