Quinno _ left this review about The Black Cat
A modern place with distressed retro feel - full length grubbed wood panelling, random mix of chairs etc. The large mirrored rear wall gives clever impression of the bar being a much larger room than it is. Two ales on, Fyne Jarl and one from Williams Bros which was in pretty good shape, better than I had expected it to be. Also quite a large selection of bottled beers with a menu and tasting notes available, plus a number of craft keg pumps. A ‘January Sale’ advertised prominently and my half was a mere £1.50. Gigantic whisky selection, on par with Edinburgh’s finest.Regular live music advertised. Not bad as a random stop and was certainly a better bet than the more renowned Teuchtars that weekend.

This pubs now changed its name to Citizen Smiths, it still has the same range of great live music, we saw a great 3 piece over Easter, another small pub that gets busy quickly.
