Don't go into this pub if you weigh more than 15 stone otherwise you'll go through the floor. Seriously, good hippy pub with excellent juke box, not bad beers and generally friendly bar staff. Owner has a bit of an attitude though, sometimes wonder which planet he's on. Whole place could probably do with some tlc although being careful to retain the character.

Best pub in the world with the worst toilets in the world. But nobody's perfect.

Have to agree that the toilets re the worst I've been to but apart from that it's a lovely friendly wee pub. The beer is ok and reasonably priced. It is better since the smoking ban as used to be very smokey.

It's great - I love it. I find myself always having to justify it to my friends though! Drinks cheap, staff have a laugh, it's very relaxed. Very Scottish. Great jukebox. One of my faves.
A wee tip though - nip through to Mulligans to use the toilets in there, the staff don't mind at all!!

the best jukebox in town... great music selection...
great interesting "dive bar" decor... tons of stuff on the walls and shelves.... a classic/traditional pub....
friendly people...very interesting mix of customers...
a few good malts...
they fixed the toilets... they are not great- but they are no where near the worst....

the toilet in the lyver has been improved - i took a crap in there at new year and it was actually ok. a nice comfy seat which i had to clean first obviously and plenty of bog roll which i had to borrow from the ladies obviously...i couldn't think of a better place to welcome in the new year.
|
if you like stinky dives- you will love this place....
what a tip...

This pub REEKS.
The toilets are THE WORST IN SCOTLAND.
They have photo montages of past regulars on the wall from 1983,a smelly hole of a pub that is popular with Dumfries has-beens and student types that seem to like it though.

Yeah also you need to watch out for things such as bikes in the toilets! it hurts when you walk into them! Favourite person I met in there was a woman who had been beaten up by a hoover!

The pub has a good atmosphere, however It is the dirties place I've ever entered, most people go next door to use the toilet they are sooooo bad.

Brilliant dark dingy pub...usualy flooded twice a year by the River Nith. Old coach seats very comfortable. Only use the loilets if you;re very desperate.....much nbetter to pop next door to the irish bar with clean, well-lit loos instead.
Bar staff great and music perfect.
