No music, no puggies, great pies. ETA - Good beers too, usually several guest ales but their Belhaven Best is top drawer ! Seconded for Thomsons. Great bar. Malones is actually acceptable as well, Guinness in there usually very good. Blue Blazer further up the hill is a great pub too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star and Garter was the place to drink near the station. The train drivers used to be in there too. The Club Bar isn't too bad -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be on less than firm ground here (I don't get the weiss-bier thing) but why go to an old man's pub on the recommendation of the quality of its' draught beers and then order a bottle? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived more or less upstairs from the Willow for a while about 20 years ago. The variety of punter it attracted was quite something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
