Decent, knowledgable staff and four real ale taps (well, 8, but doubled up with the same beers on each side when I visited!). Also avaialble - Tennents, Deuchars IPA, Caledonian 80/. Food served in restuarant next door. Busy on weekends. No TV or music.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kelburn - Cart Blanche | 5.00 | | Pale ale with a great citrussy kick. Like a super version of Deuchars IPA, I thought. Well worth trying out. |
| Kelburn - Red Smiddy | 4.10 | Not Tried |

Worth seeking out. Used to be a 'Pub of the Year' for CAMRA. Spacious, but busy, pub in the city centre hidden down a side alley. Amazing decor once inside.
