Molly Malones, Stirling

My most recent visit here was on a Monday lunchtime and the place was, understandably, much quieter than on the previous occasions I'd been in. The music was at a far lower level and there were only about half a dozen customers. My companion was drinking cider and asked for a pint of Strongbow. When the barman informed us that it was temporarily unavailable, he offered Magners instead. This wasn't particularly to my friend's taste and his face proclaimed as much. Noticing this, the barman then said he could have it free of charge. A small matter for a large pub chain, no doubt, but I thought it was a nice touch nevertheless, especially as it was my round. As I dislike all species of cider, I opted fo a pint of San Miguel instead. Guinness, Belhaven Best, Tennent's lager and the other usual Scottish staples were also on draught.
