| Dont know wether we were ripped of for being english or its just a very dear pub �7.30 pint of lager and half of real ale? kilimanjaro - 20 Jun 2012 16:09 |
| Possibly the longest hiatus I've seen on BITE between two reviews. Well, in the last 8 years some things have altered. On my visit earlier this month there was no sign of 15 pumps. Perhaps this pub was really in the vanguard of cask beer in 2003. Saying that, it's not poor for ale now; I recall 4 pumps dispensing well-kept options such as Harviestoun Blonde and Schiehallion. Service was pleasant and efficient. Stopped in at a quiet period on a wet Tuesday afternoon, but there was still a decent mix of old, young and middle-aged folk peacefully enjoying their drinks in the various seating booths and tables. Food was served but not needing sustenance at that stage, I have no comment. I suppose the previous reviewer's assessment that the Southsider is a healthy combination of a student and pensioners' pub isn't far wrong even today. Decor was solid and clean although nothing especially characterful. Worth a stop if passing and in need of pintage. TWG - 27 Aug 2011 08:34 |
| A pleasent cross between a student pub and an old man's bar. What does this produce? Cheap Real Ales! Rejoice! They currently have a blackboard with a nice long list of guest ales, ticking em off as the barrels finish. taking into account Ciders (usually two), Stout, Ales and Lagers they have about 12-15 beer pumps. Nice. Al - 2 Oct 2003 18:44 |
