Good wee sun trap in the heart of Perth. Loads of seats inside. Menu varied. Service good. Just under 23 quid for a decent bottle of Prosecco. Liked the water container/urn thing on the bar with glasses next to it. Would definitely go back.

I haven't had food here as yet, so I couldn't rate for this. I have been here for drinks downstairs and clubbing upstairs. Compared to 7 years ago, the atmosphere is much better. Love the open mic nights, and although there is only one bar open in the nightclub when it's extremely busy, the staff work very hard to serve us our drinks. They even saw me having a hot flush and gave me their fan momentarily to cool me down whilst waiting to be served. That was a very decent touch, so thank you. Great staff - including the door staff who are very lovely. I can't fault any staff. They work very well as a team. Keep that up, guys and girls. You're doing great 👍🏻 I will happily spend my money here and Half a Tanner on a night out.

I was first enchanted by The Venue in Perth when myself and the Haggis stumbled across it by chance. It is a live music pub with an excellent selection of whisky and gin. When we went there on a Friday night they had a wonderful band playing covers [including an amazing rendition of ‘Daddy Issues’ by Beyonce]. The atmosphere is moody, cosy and romantic; the decor consisting of mismatched chairs, candles in wax-dripped holders made from recycled wine bottles and an impressive display of whisky and gin bottles. The Venue also has a good selection of craft beers, ales and lagers from around the world. It’s definitely a unique pub worth a visit!

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.

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.
