Customer Review Summary
Regulars keep coming back for the friendly, chatty bar staff and the reasonably priced drinks, with several singling out the good ale and a well stocked selection of beers and wines. The atmosphere draws consistent praise too, from weekend entertainment and pool matches with "great bass" to a spotless interior and a covered outdoor smoking area. A funeral wake visitor and a busy-night patron both describe being pleasantly surprised by quick, welcoming service despite the crowd. Against this, one reviewer describes being refused a second pint without explanation and suspecting it was down to their Scottish accent, and another notes arriving at the posted opening time on a Saturday only to find the pub closed. Most, though, leave calling it a great local with lovely characters and staff.

How this listing is sourced
- Where the data comes from
- Name, address, hours, contact details, amenities, ratings and review counts come from the business's publicly available profile data — not from the owner and not from paid submissions.
- How it stays current
- Listings are re-checked in batches against their public profile, and anything reported as wrong is corrected at the source rather than patched on the page.
- How it is ranked
- Placement is never sold. Every business on the page is ordered and compared using the same public signals, so an owner cannot pay to move up.
