| I have to confess to being a 'lurker' on here for quite a while. I have now registered just to give a bad review of the Stein Inn because of the appauling experience I had. I went in and as I stood at the bar I saw that there were three beers on. The 'drunk' at the bar was offering advice and I was commenting back. I said that I didn't like black beers and the bar man 'Donald' said that they were all dark except one. I said that dark was fine but not black. The 'drunk' suggested that the Monster Mash was a golden colour. Suddenly, Donald placed a pint before me. "What is this?" I said. "What you ordered, a pint of Deuchars" said Donald. "But I was just telling this gentleman here that I had tried Deuchars and I wasn't that impressed by it" I said. "Well you've got it now, that's what you ordered." said Donald. So I paid, drank and left, bitterly dissapointed having driven 30 miles to get there to try something different. I suggest that Donald should stick to keeping the beer and not have anything to do with paying customers. I think he just lost patience with my indecision and at no time offered a 'taste' as per Cask Marque guidelines - who I'll be contacting next BTW. In fact he probably did me a favour as, whilst I quickly drank the beer I realised my eyes were stinging from the amount of smoke in the room, which would have been much worse if I'd stayed for food. gingerlee - 27 May 2010 12:12 |
| Fantastic location, and a nice atmosphere inside. The lunchtime food was reasonably good, and the evening meals looked ok, although we didnt eat in the evening. Good range of beers, and a friendly drunk at the bar willing to talk to anyone BrucetheMoose - 21 Jul 2009 21:53 |
| A great pub, beautiful location, plenty of atmosphere, good local beer, and dog-friendly with friendly staff (although one exception). We were in here every afternoon during our recent stay on Skye, with our well-behaved dog. Mutts not allowed from 6pm to 9.30 in the evening though, whilst food is being served. Fair enough, so myself and dog wandered in a couple of times during the week after 9:30pm, no problem. But on our last evening, on entering the pub at 9:45pm, the barman, who we luckily hadn�t encountered previously, bellowed out �you can�t bring that dog in here, we�re still serving food!�, despite the fact that they weren�t, as the last diners were just having their table cleared. So we turned around and left. Funny way to treat your best customers of the week, I thought, and an unfortunate end to an otherwise enjoyable holiday. millstop - 31 Oct 2007 07:32 |
