This pub has now reverted to its original name following a brief stint as the Doll’s House. That’s a positive step I would say. There was just the one handpump with a Deuchars IPA clip reversed. The barman did check that it was off, suggesting that it might be available at other times. That left a choice of plenty of keg stuff, and I went for an IPA called Caledonian Coast to Coast (£2.30 a half). There was some other lessusually stuff like Theakston’s Peculiar IPA. I didn’t see a menu, but I was in shortly after they opened at 5.0 PM, so was probably too early for the kitchen to have opened – but I could smell something cooking. This must once have been an interesting pub, but alas no longer. The exterior is painted black, and just about everything inside is painted black as well – walls, floor, ceiling, bar counter front leaving just some pine furniture and sofas to give a bit of light relief from the depressing interior. But perhaps a lot of people like pubs that have had their guts ripped out of them, and good luck to them I say. But not for me I’m afraid.
