Went in for the Scotland game on Wednesday evening to enjoy the atmosphere but unfortunately it was not full, we decided to stay as we got good seats and those present were nice and friendly. I enjoyed the beer also. I would return.

My husband and I and our dog visited Dumfries for the first time and popped into this bar on a Tuesday evening in August 2023. What a great wee bar. Filled with friendly characters who all made us very welcome. When to the ladies and couldnโ€™t believe how busy the lounge was. Bingo then Karaoke. Friendly bar staff, proper measures and good pricing for house spirits. Planning another trip soon. If you enjoy a friendly atmosphere where everyone chats to you then visit here.

Avoid this place unless you want to be involved in Sectarian party. Its a sash bash with all the usual songs with add ons such as F*ck the Pope etc. Its a pity because its been there for years and was never like this. It appears to have been taken over by a bigoted owner who allows the local Orange population to take over and spoil everyone elses enjoyment

Please please train your staff NOT to hold the top of the glass (Where you drink from), no matter how clean the staff ASSUME their hands are. Even surgeons wear gloves. I made a comment, however, I was answered thus, " my hands are clean" which is bordering on the bizzare, especially when said member of staff had just touched her mouth and her hair.

Never stay at this hotel. The restaurant food is delicious and large portions. My family use to regularly eat here every Sunday before Covid. After Covid there's a staff shortage that affects the quality of the services. I only visit the restaurant again because the hotel is closing on the June 2nd this year. It is sad to see the hotel close. Hopefully someone buys this hotel and turn it into an apartments.

Could not do enough for us including a very welcome lift to and from hoddom Bridge as we were walking the annandale way. And a packed lunch to order. Will recommend to all, especially walkers.

We ate here and finished our meal, the waitress cleared away and we decided we'd have another round of drinks before leaving. We waited 5, 10 minutes and the waitress never came back. I went in search of someone but couldn't find our waitress. I didn't like to open the doors to the kitchen. We waited another 5 minutes and my wife said 'this is ridiculous' and went off in pursuit. She found our waitress in the bar (was she watching TV, did she fancy the barman?) and asked if we could get some service. The waitress said 'the restaurant is closed', as if we were being unreasonable in expecting to be served a round of drinks. No, the restaurant isn't closed if you've still got people sitting at a table you're serving and you haven't asked them if they want a dessert or offered them the bill but simply buggered off. So we said OK, can we just pay the bill. Which we did, and obviously didn't leave tip. We won't be going back.
