Food was amazing, service was quick, staff were just so friendly and helpful. Only one small down side it was quite quiet when we went in and we could talk no bother between ourselves then loud music was put on. Its to be expected its a bar restaurant and you have to accept it could and will happen.

Had soup first and was rather salty. Baked potato was cooked perfectly. Would have given five stars. Service was excellent. Wasn't too pricey. I just wish we had Olympics on the screens rather than the football.

Went in for a friend date for lunch and the food was soooo good! The waiter/barman (Daniel? I think?) was really friendly and gave us plenty time to check out their new menu as we couldn’t decide what to have! Balmoral burger was delicious and the chips on the side were amazing. My friend had the Cajun chicken baked potato and there was plenty filling and a good sized tattie! The same guy was having issues with the card machine when we went to pay and he couldn’t have been more apologetic about it! Really good customer service from him even in a pickle! Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu

I went to the Venue before Christmas for a meal and drinks and it was really good. Got a voucher to spend in January and February. Went on Saturday but we were disappointed. The service and the atmosphere were still very good but the food wasn't. We were told we'd have to wait for 25 minutes and we appreciated that. We ordered paninis.......we got baguettes.....without explanation. They were kind of thrown together and we had to send one back as there was next to nothing in it.........chips were good! We noticed that people at 2 other tables weren't happy either and had to send food back.

Waitperson took our drink order, and food order. Interacted well with us. Food came out well presented and hot. We all enjoyed the food. Decent pints of lager and cider average price for town centre. Would go back

Did not feel welcome at all! Paid £12 for a "jug" of venom. There was only 50mls of alcohol. The venom was disgusting, left the full jug at the bar after a couple of sips. Bar tender didnt even care. Moved on to another pub for a delightful and tasty venom, even at a good price. Would not go back again. Waste of money.

Visiting from another country? Pass up this place - there’s plenty of others. They wouldn’t accept a drivers license ID (with multiple holograms that demonstrate authenticity) from outside Scotland, which is quite funny considering we’ve been to about 100 other pubs throughout this country and literally no one else had an issue. So basically if you’re from another country — unless you want to carry your literal passport with you out drinking on the weekends (😳yikes) then skip The Venue.

Nice decor soured by second set of bar staff that arrived at 5pm on Hogmany. After being in the bar with a good atmosphere and having had a couple of drinks. A woman came over at 5.35 and slapped a reserved marker on our table for 6pm. No explanation or introduction. We were at a table for two. (There were two vacant tables for two nearby and no reserved markers were put on them.)This was also done to a couple at another table. Possibly the lady with the reserved markers didn't want us there. It definitely felt like it. We left.

We were there on Tuesday and the store was pretty empty. It is certainly very crowded on weekends. Anyone visiting Perth should eat at the venue. We were a little sad that we only spent one evening in Perth.

Owner, Frank Burgerseed, knows how to run a venue. This one could be his most intriguingly adventurous attempt yet; serving food and a variety of beverages, The Venue has a alternative character that no other pub in Perth has. It's famously cited as a 'Gin bar', but that's just one avenue; they have a selection of spirits and beers to quench any thirst. Definitely visit this place if you want to mellow out without limiting your choice of poison.

We had a quick stop in Perth and decided to stop for a pint. The Venue has a really nice atmosphere and three different bars to match your taste. We instantly felt welcome and sort of "at home". Our friendly bartender took time to recommend ciders and pale ales, and when he heard we'd been in Scotland for several days, he offered a free whiskey tasting. Our bartender, Caleb, was very friendly and seemed to know everything about scottish and american whiskeys. We had a nice 20 minute chat before he had to attend other customers. Came for the pints, stayed for the warm atmosphere. Will be returning without a doubt!
