The fish and ships is good but it's still fried. Place not really clean, service OK but not the most pleasant. Ideal for taking a break in a hurry.

Went in early afternoon on a Saturday, here giant TV screens showing football were forced to sit near one, after a while we asked if the sound could be turned down, no problem, it was great to talk at a normal level, the Guinness was very nice, the bar filled up with people talking, it felt very cozy friendly, ended up staying longer due to the absence of blaring TV or concert level music. The last twice I went here was at night and its far too noisy, having to shout into the ear of barstaff and there is only about six people in.

Had a quick drink on Mon 5th Sept with my husband. Lounge was closed but small recently redecorated bar was pleasant. Bar person/locals were friendly and chatty. TV was on as the new prime minister was awaited. Prices were reasonable for 2 drinks and I suspect that they had some sort of loyalty reward scheme for the regulars. All in all a pleasant hour spent here.

Called in for a pint while visiting Balloch and immediately felt welcome in this vibrant little bar. The beer was excellent and the staff and other customers were all good craic. Entertainment was provided by acoustic guitar and harmonica sessions from a variety of musicians and singers and was enjoyed by all. I would highly recommend this bar. Try it and if you don't enjoy it then (I think) you must be doing something wrong. Just go with the flow and enjoy. Cheers.

Food was amazing and delivered to our function in goals exactly on the time arranged. Family and friends were all commenting on how nice the pizzas and pakora where and asking where it was from. Thankyou divas we will definately order home delivery from you again for home and for functions in the future. Kim.

Been updated recently and not an improvement. They built the square in the middle of the bar so to get in you are funneled past the bar. This means if people are standing at the bar it's often blocked just to walk it. The room to get past is small so the bar people can't stand easily and the people entering are blocked. For such a large place they have managed to reduce the accessable way in and reduce the table space. We tried to come in and while there were tables there were groups of 3 spread over 2 tables so we couldn't come in. I don't like what they have done. It's become a bit of a local bar for local people.
