Additionally, the pub serves a selection of cask ales and internationally recognized lagers, ensuring a satisfying experience for fans before and after the game.
Not a bad place for a drink, with two separate bars and a reasonable - if a bit limited - drinks menu. But the décor looks very tired and the interior quite dark, while the atmosphere was not particularly welcoming to me as a stranger The covered outside area, with heaters, was a bonus on a damp, chilly evening after work.
The drink we got seemed pretty overpriced for what it was - one small bottle of Fanta.
It's had a refurb and looks lovely from the outside now. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Service can be a little slow but that's to be expected at busy times. There are two bars which is great depending on your mood (one is noisier).
Good friendly atmosphere. Landlord Terry will make you feel welcome. Cheap drinks. Great Karaoke from Nigel Saturday and Sunday.
The Douglas Bank catered for my 60th birthday. They did a lovely buffet and it was a very nice atmosphere. There was also easy access for my mum's wheelchair and disabled toilet. Thanks!
