Avoid it! Never have I witnessed such blatant discrimination!!
As a care worker I am horrified by the reception we were given at lunch time in this place. The reception we got was rude, unfriendly and very unwelcoming. We have eaten out all over Edinburgh and have never received a complaint � never mind being asked to leave! If you believe that all people deserve equal rights I would urge you not to give this place your business.

Anything draught is nice and cheap; anything bottled is heart-rendingly overpriced. This is not a place for fans of Beck's. But, if you enjoy your drinks in pint form, there's the usual array of beers and ciders that you'd find in any Scottish pub, with Tennent's particularly attractively priced; two pints will leave you change from �2.50. No idea on spirit prices, as I don't drink them.
There's a pool table, a jukebox, and some quiz/fruit machines, although the pool table is taken out of commission after 7pm or so due to the rising possibility of cue-based violence. Occasional live music, too; but the karaoke defines the musical aspect of this pub. If you enjoy karaoke, you'll like this place on a Thursday (at least, they used to do it on Thursday) or Saturday. If you just want a quiet pint in a decent pub, any other night will do you fine - the place is often deserted.

this pub used to be one of the best in greenock.it had character and atmosphere and reasonably priced drinks.unfortunately the place has gone downhill due to new management and the barstaff have to be the rudest and laziest people i have met.the jukebox has been updated though

Used to be known as Laffertys. A fine pub with modestly priced beers and spirits. Excellent barstaff and usually playing some form of alternative or rock music. Teh jukebox needs updated though.
