Soup Dragon left this review about Central Bar

Popped in here to take away the taste of the over-cooked haggis and raw chips i was issued from the local chippy.

A nice looking black and white exterior, this time painted onto stone, with some nice William Younger's etched windows. The interior was, as footy pundits would say, a game of two halves. Open plan, it had a pool and darts room, with yellow walls, juxtaposed with a more traditional bar, with read and white wood lined walls, leather seats (a little shabby), a tv with Coronation St on, with a really nice looking wooden bar itself. Different.

The service was friendly and the clientele mixed. sadly the beer was as straight forward as the Star - so again, i went for the McEwans 70/-, which was as good.

The exterior is lovely, which is why this pub scores a little better, but the lack of choice of drink in the two pubs was sad. The bonus was that it did take away the taste of the food from the Fish and Chicken Bar, so Lord be praised for that
