Stirling:
Part of the same chain and with the same menus as The Four Marys, this was quite similar for me, in that it was a pleasant welcoming pub with decent beer. We didn’t eat here, but the beer was fine and other diners seemed to like the food. Staff were friendly and helpful and there was a nice atmosphere.
Stirling:
Nice little pub on the way up to Stirling Castle from the bus station, so a handy stop for lunch. Didn’t see any ale, but the website specifies ales available. The lager was perfectly acceptable anyway, and the lunchtime food was excellent, and service friendly. Interesting decor including the slogan above the exit “You are now entering grim reality”, which i liked a lot.
