Buddie Holly Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 there's not a pub I would go into where I live due to my job,the team i support and my dislike of jaikies.when back up the road it's the swan,the tile,the bull and the cave. i'd never noticed before now my liking for four lettered pubs.

Blootoon87 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 It was Bailie's but that tragically shut on Thursday. I'm open to suggestions regarding my new local. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Cramond Inn. Mainly because it's the only pub that's even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I kept meaning to go in but always ended up in the Cask & Barrel at the roundabout higher up the road. Grimbo Its more of a restaurant nowadays, I have been in a few times but theres better places on Broughton Street, Cask and Barrell being one of them The Brass Monkey is now my favourite nearby me, or the Mash Tun. Have been in Teuchters on the west end a couple of times of late which was recommended by someone on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 The closest to me in Montrose are the Golf Inn and The Northern Vaults, the one I frequent most though is Harry's, mainly because Harry himself is a friend of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Is your local meant to be the boozer nearest to you or the one you frequent most? I used to drink a lot in The Barnton Bar & Bistro in Stirling till most of the regulars started drifting away when that radge boot Janet was the manager Being a 'family man' now I dont venture out to pubs as often as in my youth but I do frequent Vinneys Bar in Stirling and/or Peppes in Alloa before and after getting the supporters bus to the football, both are definetely what you would term 'sellick pubs' Two to avoid then.

Lordofthewing Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 The closest pubs to me are the Persevere and Tamsons on Easter Road, but I frequent the Phoenix on Broughton Street most often. I'm also quite partial to a few pints in the Black Bull and Brass Monkey. ETA: I heard that the Vale next to Queen Street is meant to be shutting down at the end of the month, which would be a shame, as Dow's is utter pish.

the snudge Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 The Malt & Hops, Leith. 1 room, 8 hand pumps (not a euphemism). A wee TV council telly only. No jukebox but ace music piped in from behind the bar. There's an old piano (cue Shaky) never seen anyone play it though. A real fire (leave it), fucking brilliant after coming in from watching the football. Can sit/stand outside in summer.

tongue_tied_danny Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Mennie's/The Speedwell is the nearest to my hoose but I got bored of it and seldom go in these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I've lived in my area for decades but never been in the pub down the road, the Grey Horse. I've heard there's a load of horse's arses go there so probably wise not to. Walk a couple of blocks and you come to the oasis of good beer that is Leslie's although haven't been in for a while. Go up the road and you get a good pint in the Cask Southside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gc_smfc Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Probably the Sparkle Horse since I moved slightly away from the Belle. Clearly a lover of hipster pubs. Both are pretty decent, good selection of beer and wine and decent clientèle even if some of them wear hats indoors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavin_3110 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Not been in mine very often but it does a mean scran, burgers are fucking magic. Has a bar on one side for all the old jakeys, conservatory bit at the other side for those in gainful employment and not alcohol dependant.

carpetmonster Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Choice of 3 - The Abbey for nice beer, the Gaythering if I need to be able to take the wee one in (it's non-smoking) and Foxhole for the tremendous bar staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-ayr Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 The Chase! Has a pool table, dartboard, 3 teles with BT Sport and all they funny channels so there's always football on, quiz on a Sunday with Key in the box (basically start with 10 keys and you buy a raffle ticket and if your ticket is chosen you get to pick a key, if it opens the box then you get the £300, sometimes they might have 6 keys left but it can be a must win if they've taken too much money) Tennents, Amstel, Fosters, Guinness, Strongbow Dark Fruits, John Smiths all on tap as well as all your usual bottles and ciders. Golf club in there as well and they have a function room you can hire for free. Was at a sportsman lunch back in November there with Buller Reid, Macvennie and Kenny Clark, was very decent, 5 minute walk from my house and there is a coral, chippy, chinese, indian and a spar right next door. They don't mind you taking in food as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Got loads near me, two closest are Mousetrap which has hip hop deejays on the weekend and Alhambra which has 4 screens showing the horse racing, good contrast between both. Brass Monkey was mentioned will probably stop there for a pint later and often go to Persevere to watch football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 The Waverley for me. Technically there is a closer pub to me (just), but it's a total bearpit. Good prices, good food and plenty of TVs for football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
