Scotland Yard is my local watering hole. I love it because:
1. it's close to my condo
2. has two dart boards
The darts are great entertainment when you're in the mood for an afternoon drink, or don't feel like doing much in the evening, or you've just left Beir Markt and don't feel like going home. If you're not going to Scotland Yard to play darts, I really don't know why you're going there. It's an otherwise average place that seems to get pretty busy on a Friday or Saturday night. The food is cheap but good for the price. I particularly like the tangy tzatziki in the chicken warp. There is a nice patio on the Eslpanade in the summer and they make some tasty ceasars.
One tip for any other regulars: if you put your business card in the fish bowl by the door they'll mail you a "VIP" card that gets you 20% food.
