| Strewth! The great Snarling Mallard's been in here! Sounds like he's reviewed the wrong Globe, which is very unlike him, but there was no sign of a proper ale in here and it's not a "nice" pub. That said, there's not a lot wrong with it as a boozer's boozer. In town for a Queen of the South v. Hibernian game. With 1,500 Hibs fans about, the more popular pubs were packed. The Spread Eagle next door was rammed, so we nipped in here. At first glance, it looks as if it's the public bar of the Spread Eagle. It's compact. Wrexham v. Chester was on the box, rather than Man.U. v. Leicester, which might tell you something about the class of the establishment. The "real" walls have been hidden behind more practical coverings of plasterboard-type of stuff - albeit top-of-the-range plasterboard-type stuff. The seating is at low tables with low bar stools - exactly the size that's convenient to pick-up with one hand if any Franco Begbie action is necessary - but the bastard things have the cross-pieces so low on the legs that it would be hard to get a firm enough grip to take a proper swing with one. I'd imagine a square go in here on Friday or Saturday nights - or most other nights - is common. There's a pool room somewhere beyond the toilets, presumably upstairs. Nothing wrong with the Belhaven, but the selection of booze was strictly for the Tesco carry-out brigade. MarlingSnallard - 26 Sep 2016 10:53 |

| great snug, real fire , lots of warrier poet locals and tourists. Maxwellton was a seperate town till 1929 and of course it was in wild Galloway so Burn's Thos carlisle ,and will shakespeare when he did scotland all had an ale or wine here. Being a bit less regulated than Dumfries ,livelier music ,wenches and shows. that's why 5 pubs are tucked in together along with the briggend theatre and Burn's cinema. hotspot thornhill - 18 Jul 2011 12:45 |
