The Venue in Perth & Kinross

Cosy wee city centre bar. Unfortunately, the staff here couldn't prepare hot alcoholic drinks (I asked for a Baileys coffee) and they didn't serve mulled wine or cider despite it being December and the start of Christmas season.

Never going back. Got attacked over drinks I bought for bouncers to join in with revellers rather than do there job check cameras main dance floor around 1.00 to 3.00

Went in for something to eat, sat for 20 minutes waiting for someone to take our order. Went somewhere else instead. Wasn't even busy.

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.

With family spacious and very helpful staff

Friendly staff. Great service. Food was great also

First time in The Venue. Food and service both really good. It was a quiet time so don't think I got the buzz I imagine this place would have. Will definitely revisit.. thank you

Great for cocktails with friends

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.

Really nice bar and friendly staff We only had one drink and no food

Good large pub .with plenty of space. Outside seating .Great food and helpful, friendly service

It was a superb meal and nice surroundings:))

Didn't have food. Just in for the match and pints. Excellent tv's and surround sound. Great staff with a bit of craic 👍

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

Great night had by all on Saturday night! We need to see more of High Audio and the DJ’s, they create a great atmosphere, brilliant tunes, and awesome people. I’ll be back!

Great night at The Venue Club 1. Let’s do it again. Top DJ’s

Burger and chips was awesome, staff were very friendly and they had a good choice of rum.

Unpleasant welcome from the person at the bar, really excecrable, ordered a gin Fizz received a gin and tonic and when I point it out to her she explains to me that in Scotland the gin Fizz is like that. 🤬

Perfect location at the end of the street looking up and out. Sitting outside to enjoy delicious food is a real treat.

Somehow this pub just gets worse with every redesign....I miss Brennan's and Bar Quba

Popped in for dinner. They were out of steak pie so we chose goujons and chicken curry. Very tasty. Good portion size, attentive staff. Area kind of desserted in the evenings. 🤷 Maybe it was because it was a Tuesday and we found many places closed.

Got served a dodgy glass of wine here. Its a shame because I liked this bar.

Top marks for the most rude, unpleasant staff I have come across anywhere. They need some work on people skills regarding how to talk to customers.

Great food n music and bar staff so friendly

Not a lot of stuff for quite busy place

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.

Went in for food, only people in back area. A few at bar/ front area. Even with a lack of people it felt comfortable. Ok menu, good choices all reasonably priced. 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

First time visiting. Couldn't fault the food, it was delicious. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Decor is lovely.

This place was so warm and welcoming, nice, friendly staff service was quick and the food was hot

Great place to go for a chilled night, we stayed at the gin bar and the music wasn't too loud which was great. Great atmosphere

We attended the Dolly Christmas night on a Friday night in December What a ball Started with Christmas Dinner which was braw. Good value Then upstairs for Dolly Lorraine Pattison as Dolly was absolutely fantastic. What a woman! She sings, dances and had the patter of Dolly herself

Very good sports bar in Perth city centre. Good beer, whisky, haggis fries, music, tv's and friendly staff...

Helpful friendly staff good size portions of food had starter and main meal no need for afters

Very friendly and very welcoming food was lovely would recommend it.

Great pizza, great service, IPA draft, convenient location.

Where else can you get a tasty home made chilli at 2.30am in Perth?

Very nice restaurant with excellent food. Staff extremely friendly 👍

Can't agree with what they've done, where's the nice wee gin bar?? If you want drink/comfy seat/ to engage in conversation....DON'T go here/multiple TV screens ON/ PLUS disco lights PLUS speakers pumping.. complete sensory overload..PLUS manspreading! Seriously? 😱 remind me again what century this is....😳

Good food and good friendly service.

Nice place to sit in the sun and watch the world go by

Great place very be reasonably priced great staff

Only in for a drink, lovely place, not busy but still enjoyable

been here multiple times not only are the owners absolute gems but the staff are always so friendly from bar staff to bouncers, the place is always so lovely with amazing music and incredible cocktail and drink options. one of my absolute favourite places to go for drinks and food, absolutely stellar all round!

Good pint with a cracking atmosphere.....

Clean, tidy. Fast friendly, efficient service. Relaxing atmosphere. Nice pint.

Great friendly service and nice outdoor seating.

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.

Good bright bar. Plenty of big screens to watch sports.

The place is lovely but disappointing that they did not had any menus for drinks and they had no cocktails....

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.

Great service and lovely place to sit and relax.

Great atmosphere and friendly staff

Has been done up really nicely, drinks are still AMAZING, but the music this afternoon is not really my cup of tea (blues).

Very nice food . It was a bit noisy

Nice place to have a drink. Enjoyed the food that I had, chicken skewers with a rice salad and seasoned fries. Very nice 👍👌👍👌

Got ignored for 15mins standing at the bar when no one else was getting served!

Fanyasticly friendly staff. Great new cocktails after the refurb.

Excellent food, extravagantly presented on stone slabs with hand-carved fries, great decor and super nice staff! Prices were perfectly reasonable and the toilets are clean and extremely spacious. 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.

Just visited the Venue for a drink . I felt very safe with all there Covid 19 precautions. Very friendly staff. Stunning facility’s . Well Done guys . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great fine selection and good covid measures!

Must go! A very large whiskey collection. Staff was extremely friendly , amazing service too. A lot of covid measures. Also had a free whiskey tasting before ordering, the whiskey guy (Caleb) is great, very knowledgeable! Strongly recommend to stop by here for a wee drink to learn about whiskey.

Lovely staff and great surroundings & lovely cocktail bar.

The place is amazing, great drinks selection, great staff and excellent service

Superb service! I have visited The Venue a number of times, most recently during COVID-19 restrictions. Each time I received the same level of friendly and knowledgable service from staff who clearly care about each customer. Even with current measures in place staff helpfully explained how their system worked and instantly made us feel comfortable. Cannot recommend highly enough!

A lovely place for a very enjoyable cocktail, relaxing, good service and a welcoming atmosphere. Am so pleased we were able to enjoy it last week. We wanted a small snack but only option was burritos which we didn’t want. It would be better if they could offer tapas instead. Highly recommend regardless

Great gin selection al be it a bit expensively priced .

Excellent range of Drinks, excellent value for money would visit again

Food was lovely, the band were great, will be back

Absolutely fantastic place, friendly knowledgeable staff and loads and loads of Gin and Whiskey..100% recommend xx

Amazing place, lived in Perth for 25 years and was back for the weekend visiting my parents. Went in with my wife and was welcomed by extremely friendly staff and a wall of gin only to find a wall of whiskey around the corner. Staff were amazing and knew everything about whiskey (did a free whiskey sampling) . There was a live band on that set the evening and would recommend anybody drinking in Perth to go there. 10/10

Overpriced, lack of knowledge, no customer care

Very nice place from subliminal people but unfortunately sound system is I little poor it's too much screamingly. Great staff...

Went along for a Friday night quiz night. Good selection of beers, terrific space, excellent quiz master.

Great selection of gins and cocktails. Vibrant busy venue. We had our Christmas night out here and the food was excellent

Remember as the Windsor. Not been in ages. Strange eclectic front, back and upstairs bars. Music OK as is the beer.

Food excellent lovely place staff friendly

Strange but excellent service....🌝

Had a pint of cullach beer here, it was absolutely fowl, not sure if it’s the beer lines or the beer, had a gin which was ok but not sure I’d return based on this

Best bar in Perth. Great friendly atmosphere and nice interior. The old fashioned was superb and I was shown some great whisky's I never tried before. And the live musicians was just awesome.

Great food and service, 50% off during the week!

Massive selection of drinks with about 3 different rooms! Good selection of gins and spirits. Think it's a bit overpriced

Nice place. Live music adds prestige to it. I recommend

Went to The Venue to celebrate South Africa's victory in the rugby world cup. Great food and atmosphere. We were looked after by a lovely waitress.

Nice enough place, drinks are more expensive than other places nearby

Food was amazing we had the Scottish tapas. Really good portions at a great price highly recommend. And great selection of drinks too

Great atmosphere and very well run pub. We love the live music

Great variety of Scottish Tapas gins & whisky's, friendly staff and would return again.

Great staff Great Food service fantastic...

Great bar staff and quiz, the varcstaff know how a kraken and coke is served so no need to ask for ice and a slice :).

A very good venue with great choice of drinks and a great atmosphere

Great place. If you fancy a gin don't miss it. We had a couple of very different home after having a tasting of 6. Service was excellent. The guy who served us cert9knew his find & had a very good sense of humour. The place is unusual with lots of large comfy seats & sofas. Have been before & will definitely be back!

Good food and ideal for a whiskey or gin and tonic. nice music Very friendly staff

Enjoyed our reunion there we all had a great time the Venue was busy and seemed popular

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.

The food here was gorgeous! We had the 'Scottish Tapas', £5 or £6 a dish and it was perfect. Nice feel to the place, nice ales and hundreds of whiskies and gins.

Excellent pub for hospitality, quality of service, menu options and wide choice of spirits (>200 gins and whiskeys). If you find yourself passing through Perth (UK) and you are hungry and/or thirsty, this place is for you! Quiet, good music, trained staff ready to support you in your choices! Excellent value for money!

Love the venue , guys singing last night fantastic . I consider it my local at the moment and love everything about it .

Highly recommended. We didn't eat, although it was possible and apparently very good. Very extensive menu of gins (300) and whiskeys (350). Great

A very nice place with 300 different gins. The charming waiters. I love it!!!
