To me this place is grummy.
This place isn't packed on a regular basis, however it's not empty either.
I walked in to watch the tail end of a Euro Cup game.
The waitress was right infront of me talking to another customer casually. At that point she could've told me to walk right in and take a seat.
I stood there for 5 minutes before just asking her.. "Shall I sit anywhere?" And she flags her hand "yeah sit whereever"... ooooook thanks! Strike 1.
I had at the bar since I had no need to take up a whole table. I sat with the retired men that stunk of beer and smokes.. argh.
Finally the same waitress came to take my drink and menu order.
I had the fish and chips, which were decent. No complaints.
I don't like the look of the place and from what I've read from other reveiwers - this is a hit and miss place.
On my way out I had a tipsy older man ask me if I was leaving them and that I should stay because I'm something nice to look at.
I don't really like the patrons that occupy this place - so I won't be returning.
I'd go across the street to the Twisted Kilt for some more classy people, AND a more authentic pub feel.
