fringo Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Cafe Royal is certainly a decent pub for central Edinburgh. Best pubs in Dundee/Broughty Ferry for last 30+ years are Speedwell/Mennies and Fisherman's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was last in it August 15 and it was a heatwave. Mate said he fancied a tango or similar as well as his PU but was petrified to ask for one!

dieselarmy Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Couldn't agree more with The Golden Tiger - what a place. I'm sure there was a thread on this around 6 months ago. I'm away to check (and see what I said...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselarmy Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Just found the thread, and I went for these ones. U Zlateho Tygra (At The Golden Tiger), Prague - probably my favourite pub in the world. No gimmicks, just a place to drink great beer. Great Panenka photo, too. Malt and Hops, Leith - my local, and I reckon by far and away the best pub at the shore. Fruh am Dom, Cologne - great city, great beer, great food and an underperforming football team. Cologne has everything that a Scottish football fan wants. Fruh am Dom is so good that I still love the place, despite the fact that the owner is a Rangers fan. La Venencia, Madrid - a proper old school sherry bar. No tipping or photography is allowed, and they write your order in chalk on the bar. It's like nowhere else I've ever been. Turns out sherry isn't as rank as I thought it would be, either! Sheffield Tap, Sheffield - I could have gone with any of about 10 pubs in Sheffield, it's the best city for ale I've ever been to. The only problem is that I always have too many Jaipurs and end up in a state. I've just moved to Musselburgh from Leith, so I'd probably swap the Malt and Hops for Staggs. Otherwise I'd probably stick with this list, although I was in York last weekend, and I did take a real shine to The House of Trembling Madness.

There are 2 on that list that would be on mine. I'd add Gaffel am Dom and Lozzerheimer in there too along with Unitecky Pivovar. I'd scrap Fruh am Dom for Hofbrauhaus.

Charlie Endell Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Called into the Guildford on Saturday evening - we got talking to a Canadian tourist - as he was on his Robert Todd we bought him a drink in our round - when the barman found out one of the drinks was for him they were taken back and poured down the sink - apparently he was intoxicated (although he seemed fine to the three of us - perfectly lucid in fact) - a great advert for Visit Scotland. Cafe Royal has now been upgraded to my Waverley pit stop of choice and a sine die ban has been imposed on the Guildford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a couple of recommendations for where to go to watch it? Will be near the ice rink, but not bothered if we have to get a taxi.
