We’ve added some new bottles and cans to our lineup!

Level up your lager game with Mexicos 🇲🇽 finest Pacifico Clara. Or if you’re a Belgian 🇧🇪 beer lover give the cheeky strawberry and thyme lambic a try.

I’m partial to a good sour like this Trop Trop from Pilot. It’s a passionfruit, mango and pineapple delight, great for those of us grasping at the edges of summer. 🌴🥭🍍

Our lovely part-time member of staff, Edie, is leaving us for studies abroad so we’re looking to add a new member to our team.
Come pop in with a CV if you’re interested! We’re a close knit team looking to add another great personality to our local wee pub.

SH*TTTTTT. We haven’t see the likes of this jackpot in recent times, maybe ever (we just can’t remember, too many pints over the years)

As usual call us or DM here or FB to reserve a table. Limited spaces left🎯🎯🧐⁉️❔

WOW look at my class design skills 😂 but it’s a great way to let you all know. With the Summer Olympics kicking off soon we thought we’d get more use out of our projector and invite you to watch some sports and games and all things active.

Get your pals together, book a couple of tables and tell us what you want to watch and we’ll stick it on. This is first come first served so if someone’s requested something already, bad luck. 🎾🚴‍♀️🏊‍♀️🏹🏐🏓🏒🏅🏅🏅
