The Pub in Dumfries & Galloway

Christmas dinner was awful. Carrots not cooked Turkey tasted off, rancid, inedible. Very disappointed after looking forward to a good meal

I went with my husband and teenage sons, the food was very good and freshly cooked, the staff were friendly and the meal was reasonably priced. What more can you ask for.

Great little pub. Had a wait for food, but it was worth it. Portions are huge. There is no such thing as 5 wings as the menu advertises was closer to 12. Guy, behind the bar was amazing. I couldn't fault him. Limited on tables is the only downside, but on a Tuesday night in October, got a seat.

Ticks all the boxes - welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, good portions and delicious food! I'd advise visiting early if you plan on dining as tables are sparse.

Gr8 wee pub cosy and relaxed atmosphere.friendly people.good drinks menu and good food menu food must b good bcause chef was busy and bar maid never stopped movin wee busy bee lol

Booked a table via email as it gets busy. The pub has a large choice of drinks so there’s something for everyone. The bar staff are very friendly and welcoming. The cheese topped garlic bread was lovely (and huge). The chilli burgers were delicious. We weren’t expecting such large portions so we ordered far too much food. Really enjoyed our meals. Highly recommended!

Excellent food massive Perkins had chicken burger and macaroni. Friendly pub and also dog friendly. Would like to try more of the menu

Came in for drinks but returned for food. Good choice of local drinks and excellent range and quality of food at good value prices.

Outstanding food and lovely friendly pub Very reasonable prices and I would definitely go back Don't miss it of you're in Strsnraer

It was immediately welcoming. We wanted a few beers and something to eat. The food was worth the wait, however we were given a free drink (without asking) from the bar man as we did have to wait. Would definitely recommend as cosy, dimly lit and friendly.

First class pub food in a friendly homely atmosphere great prices and great food very tasty and plentiful

Some of the best pub grub I’ve had in a long time; the IPA Buffalo Wings were outstanding. Make sure you’re hungry as the portions are generous. Lovely, welcoming staff too.

We are here yesterday afternoon as a group of 10. All enjoyed the food. Portions were generous, food was good and price was reasonable. Would recommend.

Great pub. The staff could not be more friendly. We went in for a meal but due to a family emergency they were not serving food. The landlord offered us a free drink and allowed us to buy takeaway food and bring it back to eat. He even provided plates and cutlery. We stayed all night for drinks and to watch the live band. What a great night.

We visited here tonight and we’re more than pleasantly surprised. Not only did we get great service, great food, but also great prices

We went in when we had time to kill. I asked about a gluten free vegetarian meal as there was nothing on the menu to suggest this was catered for. The barman went and asked the chief and they made me a stuffed pepper which was lovely. I was really impressed. The price was extremely good.

Having looked for a nice, friendly pub to have a wee drink, and a meal i stumbled across this place on Google.... Travelled up from Near London, to find its not even open!!! Footballs on and the place is shut.... Evan on Google, says open!! Disappointed to say the very least..... Shame, pics looked good!! Disgruntled Traveller

Visited this establishment while in stranraer again at weekend and i was very upset to see a couple of things changed 1 being the bar staff davie and dean who i met first time around not there dean has left and davie was off dean will be a great loss to the place as he kept it goung and davie is just as good shame there was aleays a guy at end of the bar giveing orders for drink

I have been drinking in the pub since 1990 and i would recommend it to anyone and everyone.Best staff i have encountered and that includes Dean and Davy who go above and beyond when it comes to their job.As for Robert the owner.top fella who always looked after my father and would do anything to help you .5 stars for the PUB.

Nicole and Anne-Marie are the best barmaids in Scotland, king Billy’s on the wall, it’s a geed pint as well a suppose😂😂xx

Excellent place. Great food lovely staff. Great value for amount of food. Very clean great atmosphere will be back.

Friendly staff and excellent food, huge portions, struggled to finish it although were warned we would struggle. Loved it. Highly recommend the steak (whether sanni or steak and chips) it was cooked to perfection! also the macaroni was fab! If our stay here was longer we would definitely be back 😊💯

Tuesday where other restaurants were closed and we chose this place because of reviews. Welcomed on entry, drinks order taken and drinks arrived dinner orders taken for all 5 of us, Food delivery was slow so we ordered more drinks although after two selections staff left without waiting for the rest of the order. Dinner arrived for four (oops) but still no drinks. Waited for another 20 minutes and noticed staff going for a break. Still waiting for my meal and drinks so went and had a word - not rude. When dinner finally arrived (others had finished) we were told off for showing her up in front of her friends. Needless to say we won't ever go back. The food? Yes that was very good - thanks chef.

Second time we have been here. Stayed at Aird Donald camp site so wasn’t far to walk. First pub we came to and the one we kept going back to. So friendly right from the start. Fantastic music, great staff and good drinks. Barman was very nice, friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend and go back again.

I always used to go to Stranraer Tandoori whenever I was in town but its changed hands and the recent reviews have been terrible so I decided to try The Pub next door instead. The service was great, really friendly barman and the prices were very reasonable. There's quite an extensive menu; I tried the Chicken Katsu which was great- good portion size, tasty and well cooked. I'll be sure to return next time I'm in Stranraer.

2 adults, 4 kids for foot last minute. Staff were lovely and very friendly. Food was fresh, delicious and very reasonably priced indeed. Nothing was a problem for staff.

I travel around Scotland alot, it was a Friday night, about half hour before last orders, had only had a few drinks at the Grapes up the road, and fancied 1 more before heading back to where I was staying. First time I have experienced...

When we walked in, I thought Bobay in the Clansman?? (Still Game) so we felt right at home!! Typical Pub very colourful with lights everywhere and lots of lovely things to look at on the walls! The barman was lovely and very welcoming! Friendly atmosphere...

Visited here while on an overnight because it is dog friendly. Small pub but staff were fantastic, suggesting drinks, best gin selection i have ever seen & so good with dogs,bringing big bowl of water to our table before we even asked, staff had great...

We went there twice on a recent visit. Once for a drink and another to listen to some music. Good staff and good selection of drinks. We were given free Irish stew as it was st Patrick’s weekend. Good juke box as well.

The town is low on really cool joints to hang in so this is a real find. Great back bar and huge gin selection along with a top end bar-snack selection! Worth a visit if in town.

I often pop in on my way home for a soft drink , no matter which people are there we are always included in the conversation around the bar.the staff are fantastic very friendly and hardworking. The pub has brilliant FREE entertainment thursday Friday and...

Quick bite before catching the ferry. Thanks for the great burgers. Great downtown location, wish we could have stayed longer.

What a little gem of a place! Beer was fresh and ice cold, just the way it should be! Loved the fact that it’s dog friendly and the staff are extremely professional! All in all, I give it a 9.5 out of 10. Will be...

A gem of a place nicely situated just off the town centre good selection of beers and spirits well priced lovelt staff great atmosphere and some terriffic live music and if meals are available they are first class give it a try

Staff friendly, beer fresh, good jukebox. Probably the best pub in Stranraer, which isn't a difficult accolade to grab.

We popped in here for a quick drink before we went for an Indian meal next door. It was early Saturday evening and was fairly quiet so had a choice of where to sit. It has an extensive cocktail menu which was excellent. We also...

We had a wonderfull evening in The pub, live music, local beer, warm folks from about age 16 till 80 or even more :), and a great evening to taste a bit of Scotlands night out.

Had lunch there a few days ago for the first time and it was lovely, service was excellent as was the food. Will be back.

Table for 17 booked and meals pre ordered unfortunately fell flat took over 2 hours to get meals on table and for the majority sub standard excuse being that they had been over run during day.

second visit to this bar in stranraer very pleasant staff ordered bar meal fish chips beans ,coldslaw onion rings excellent pub grub what i like plenty on the plate fish cooked lovely nice atmosphere in the pub will beback often now every time we drive...

Nice pub, the beer was ok but due to it being Monday it was very quiet, we quadrupled the customer count when we walked in. Clean and pleasant though and I would go back.

Live bands, great friendly staff, fantastic pint! Have been here many times an always had a brilliant time!

liked the live music but drinks a bit expensive, pub bit small but good selection of ales, would go back as i like live music

Myself and my wife enjoyed a few beveridges with a few locals on friday afternoon. A friendly atmosphere and attentive bar maid made for an enjoyable experience during our visit.

We called in on Friday evening for a drink and stayed for the karaoke. We had a great night and the staff and patrons were very friendly.

Aptly named, The Pub is your average town Pub. A mixture of locals and tourists, standard jukebox fare music and a pool table. Good beers, and a friendly atmosphere. OK for a drink, and then move on somewhere else

I visited here when going for the ferry back home to Belfast. Full of nutters and roasters with a crap five piece band playing. Best avoided! Good waft of skunk on the way in as well! Also challenged to a fight in loos, not good!

The brilliant elastic band were in full flow on thursday night, the place was busy, the crowd were excellent it was a good place to be
