Strongers . left this review about The Laurieston Bar

The right hand-side of the Laurieston is an L-shaped lounge bar with tartan carpet and banquettes along the front and right walls. Service is available from the small bar counter, but the main bar area is in the left where it curves around to make a J-shaped public bar. Banquettes run around the walls and there is plenty of tat up, including many photos of the locals, I imagine past and present. There was background music playing and the television was showing Racing TV. On the end of the bar a solitary hand pump stands in between standard keg fonts. Another two hand pumps are hidden around the back, and I would have missed them if I hadn’t needed the toilet. All three cask beers were from Fyne Ales, Castle Black, Hylander and Hurricane Jack. On the end of the bar is a pie heating cabinet, which I think is as far as the hot food stretches. The grill covered distorted windows make the pub look less than welcoming, but the 1970s interior and friendly welcome soon made me feel at home. This is a decent pub well worth a visit, just remember to take some notes and coins because plastic isn’t accepted here.
