Apparently Scotland's second micropub - the first is in Kelso - but information is scarce. Forth Valley Camra have not yet caught up (see https://forthvalley.camra.org.uk/wp/?p=403), but a friend of mine has had a drink here, and he had this to say about it:

"...only two real ales on and about four or five keg 'uns. I have forgotten what the Real Ales were but they both tasted fine. Neither of us had any of the kegs, so can't comment.

The landlord was an electrician by trade and had done all the electrical work, I think. He was a very pleasant guy and made us very welcome. There was a train and carriages on track going most of the way round (he is eventually going to finish it off totally round). This was about eight feet off the ground near the ceiling.

The punters were all very pleasant and we blethered with a few of them. They all seemed to appreciate an independent wee boozer.

We enjoyed it so much on our first visit that we went again. All in all a grand welcoming place with my highest accolade for a boozer. It serves 'a braw drop'!"
