The Crown Hotel, Callander

A single square room at the back was the only one open due to COVID, bland modern room with tartan carpet, plain white walls and a couple of screens, mostly furnished with tables and chairs it has some bench seating and some tall stools. Two pulls but only Harviestoun Bitter & Twisted on, usual Scottish keg range plus curry house favourite Kingfisher.

From outside, this looks like a quaint, traditional pub. Inside, however, it has been modernized and is now a typical 21st century lounge/diner with more customers eating than drinking. It was on the expensive side, with Guinness selling at £3.50 a pint. Tennent's lager, Belhaven Best and Strongbow cider were also on draught.
