Dickens Bar & Malt House in Perth & Kinross

Really good traditional bar. Beers superb and very pleasant/very efficient barmaid. Very welcoming and good at her job. This would be my local if I stayed in Perth.

Me and my wife were visiting from Ayrshire. Called in here on the recommendation from the waitress in The Mexican where we had dinner. Live band on who were pretty good. Very friendly service, friendly regulars. Only downside was my Coke in my Captain Morgans was a bit flat. I had a pint of Goose after that which was spot on. Would reccommend for a good night in the pub.

Lovely small Pub. Great Pint. Staff very welcoming, bar person Tina was great, even looked up train times for me as my fone had died. Good service, nice relaxed atmosphere, GREAT!!

My kind of bar, good service good beer and good value, lots of locals and good craic, excellent value, great Guinness

Encontré este pub en un paseo por Perth. Descubrí que tenían cabinas pequeñas, lo cual era realmente bueno. Nos hizo sentir muy seguros ya que estás lejos de otros clientes. Volvimos la noche siguiente y encontramos otro barman, pero igual de acogedor.

My wife and I had been away to a wee place outside Dunblane and decided to head somewhere else before coming home. The first pub we came across was Dickens. Popped in with our bags, since we where travelling by train and had a couple of drinks. Discussing it being our first time in Perth, the barman, Frank came over with a map and a good few suggestions of other pubs and places to visit. He then offered to store our bags behind the bar so we didn't have to carry them around. His wife Tina looked after then when the shift changed and was also lovely on our return. Looking forward to another trip to Perth and will definitely be back to Dickens.

Travelled to Perth with my sister and dad last weekend (Saturday to Monday). Stumbled on Dickens on the Saturday afternoon. Had a couple of drinks and seemed a nice friendly place so decided to have a few drinks in here on the Sunday night. Arrived about 8 o'clock. Went through door and as we stepped in the barman announced we're closed. I thought he was joking as there were a few people in the bar but he insisted they were closed so we left. I had checked google before heading out with our elderly dad and it said it was open till 11pm - strange but definitely made to feel unwelcome and no explanation as to why it was closing so early.

Popped in here with the wife pleasantly surprised to see Stella on draught, cosy place, welcoming and friendly too, went back the following evening but a gin tasting event was on

Good atmosphere (the dancer was questionable) but nice bar and friendly locals and staff. Will be back

Two oldies on the town with our grandaughter, but still young enough to enjoy decent pubs - grandaughter quite impressed. This place is just like the old traditional pubs that ised to grace city centres countrywide. Lots of woodwork and glass and a traditional bar with a wide range of beers and other drinks.Friendly staff and a nice 'local pub' atmosphere. Only fly in ointment was that some of the modern music in the corner a bit louder than conversation. That said, worth a visit for the general atmosphere and decent booze.

A local pub with friendly staff and customers, lively with decent priced drinks. Good location on the way back to both the train/bus stations.

On the positive. One of the only pubs in Perth with a good whiskey menu. Bar staff are friendly and good. However, the place feels edgy. I’ve been several times but won’t go in the evenings anymore. I was quietly drinking my dram and a group of youngsters decided to target me. They behaved like children, so I left asap. Beware!

Vi gikk gatelangs i Perth, og havnet inn på Dickens for noen pils. Hyggelig betjening og mange stamgjester. Puben ligger sentralt i byen, og har et svært stort utvalg av wisky. Denne puben har eksistert i mange år, og har nok en del historier i veggene. Vel verdt å ta turen innom.

Ok pub!!!. Clean and tidy. But we asked for the snack menu and was told it was only toasties???Well ok..lets just have them. Three cheese and onion, two cheese and ham and a ham only. then told sorry not much onion, only enough for 1. Ok order changed...then told it would be slow as only two cooked at once..ok again we said fine. Then 15 mins later told "sorry we have no bread".....WHAT ????. Tescos is virtually next door. So just left. Not our best welcome to Perth.

Called in while walking from our hotel to the town centre. Only a few people in, so not much of an atmosphere. Good choice of drinks and a friendly bar man, probably a bit better at night when its busier

Popped in for a quick refreshment..well stocked bar plenty of malt whisky,got a double vodka/mixer £4.00 can't complain...fella who served us was a happy chap

Quite like this place but it seems to catch a few slightly dodgy punters at certain times. Whisky list is amazing and worth a look. I pop in once or twice a month but its probably best avoided at weekends and giro days.

chanced upon this establishment. Clean roomy any bright. Fantastic range of Malts and good selection of beers. Staff friendly and professional.

Aparecimos en la mitad de la tarde para tomar una copa. Nos sentamos en el bar y tenía una gran conversación con el barman, Martin! Chico agradable, nos dio algunas sugerencias sobre qué hacer en la zona, ya que le dijimos que estábamos de Canadá. Conocimos algunos personajes coloridos (gente amable y tenía una copita de Cardhu!

Fuimos al bar el viernes con amigos. He visitado este bar muchas veces en el último par de años. Al entrar en el bar sabía que había cambiado el ambiente cargado y muy amenazante. Me dieron un asiento y mis amigos dieron las bebidas. Pedí un vodka, soda agua y grosella negra. Qué pocos bebedores de vodka dieron ciertamente no vodka. Una amiga no hay vodka. Cuando fui hasta el bar para quejarse de la chica del bar sabía que me hizo un buen trago enseguida. Yo le pregunté lo que ella servía antes y comprobarlo hizo y no sabía lo que la bebida era. todos salimos sin acabado nuestras bebidas. No volveré a decir verdad y otros ten cuidado.

This bar is full of people which can bemuse a fine young lady if she thinks she can just nip in to use the facilities. Once stayed for a drink and felt very local but it isn't a lounge or an airport cafeteria.

Good bar although on a Friday night some of the locals were looking a bit wobbly. Went there after dinner at Tabla and the drinks and service were very good. Worth a stop off after dinner

This place has a different method of service, Good service but different, You pick up menues at the bar and take them to your table (sit anywhere) make your choice and order it at the bar where you pay for it. The dinner was served...

Buen lugar para hacer una pausa para bebidas nos gustó la historia y el servicio bar forclean frienly buscando con historia este es

A local pub with friendly staff and customers, lively with decent priced drinks. good location on the outskirts of main town centre

Visited for the first time this weekend and was very impressed with their range of malt whiskies on offer. Prices reasonable and friendly staff - what more could you ask for in a traditional pub.

brilliant choice of malt whiskeys and great prices for all other drinks .friendly staff made this a good choice of pub.

Dickens is well worth a visit, if only for the 100+ whiskies on offer and the Victorian architecture of the place. The real ale on my visit was Ossian and the pub was quiet but with a comfy feel and chatty locals

Don't let the outside put you off. This is a great pub. Amazing selection of malts. Friendly staff and customers. What's not to like? Great to still be able to find places like this.

We went in for a drink after a night our in Perth. Great whisky selection but the place is a little small.

just got a tennent lager and a bottle off bud 7.40 think something is going on there but u make ur mind up

Just a nice friendly pub, excellent selection of whisky and beer. barman really helpful and friendly. I am a frequent visitor to Perth and this place always makes me feel welcome.

My partner is a connoisseur of malt whiskies and this was malt whiskey heaven for him. Loved the menus with the various malts having really funky titles. Prices weren't bad either.

A great place to try single malts. The range is impressive, and the bar staff helpful. The patrons' dogs are friendly...

Was ok, a bit small and not my kinda pub. Sorry did not enjoy and would not rush back in a hurry. Maybe it was because it was a Friday evening, bar had locals who looked as though they had just finished work, felt it a bit cleekish.

Great atmosphere for this lively pub!Would certainly visit again when in Perth.Best selection of malt whiskey I've ever seen

We popped in here on a Sunday evening to try a local beer and a whisky and enjoyed our short stay. The choice of whiskies is amazing and the whisky combo offers are good value. The juke box was well played and there were a few friendly locals about. Service was friendly and helpful. A nice change from Perth's other bland pubs, that do little to showcase real ale or malt whisky.

Last time I was in here the toilets were filthy & smelled rather unpleasant plus the beer wasn't the best either...pipes maybe not cleaned as often as they should be?

This was our first visit to Dickens for over 4 years, it was a bit disappointing, the decor was drab and tired looking, the service was good and the choice of beers etc was OK, it was nice to see some old friends in the bar, it could do with a good old spruce up though.

I loved the decor, a real country feel. Lots of different whisky on offer as well. The staff were friendly and polite, the toilet facilities were clean and say access too.

After dining out at Kerachers Restaurant we asked the waiter where we could get a good selection of whisky.He sent us to Dickens and we were very impressed. 200 whiskys behind the bar!Obviously we did not get through them all but a great place to visit if you like a dram.

Ragazzi miei se siete appassionati di single malt e whisky in generale beh... questo è il posto giusto per voi. Ampissima scelta di etichette da prezzi bassi fino a prezzi altissimi per degustare un bicchiere di rarissime bottiglie. Il locale è tutto in legno, caratteristico, caldo... ed il whisky è servito con la classica bottlgietta d'acqua del "glen"... Bel posto!!!!

Don't expect anything more than a pub. It's not a wine bar, it's not a "disco bar", it's a pub.And that's exactly what this place does very well.Jukebox, dartboard, seating at the bar as well as in and around the bar and a selection of malts you'd normally have to travel far and wide to taste.

Dickens has an enormous selection of whiskeys, and if you have trouble deciding, you can order a tasting flight of either local or international whiskeys for a sampling. We stopped into Dickens on our way through town for lunch - their lunch soup & sandwich special for ₤4 was a great deal. The day we were there, it was carrot soup and a choice of 1 of 5 different sandwiches (the Coronation chicken sandwich was super fresh and delicious). We'd definitely go back!
