Looks to be getting run by Isle of Skye Brewery but not sure if they're making a c**t of it or not. Was in a couple of weeks ago and it was alright. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liking the Trades, managed to find a corner table to watch the Scum v United game. Going to let my nearest and dearest know I'll be heading for the Arctic next, just in case...

Melanius Mullarkey Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 I saw a huge rat going into the back door of the Arctic the other day. Probably just in for a half, it was lunchtime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt if it will still be there. There used to be a pub in Coleraine Station, the Pullman Bar. Bit of a dive, but straight out the door onto the train. Long gone.

There are plenty more mature gentlemen in the Arctic on a Friday and Saturday night but they're usually PCP'd out their tits. There is one guy with the whole cast of the Simpsons tattooed from ear to ear around the back of his head. Some place. I'd recommend you try the Bush bar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomson's, about 400 yards up Morrison St from Haymarket. No music, no puggies, great pies. ETA - Good beers too, usually several guest ales but their Belhaven Best is top drawer !

The train drivers used to be in there too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
