The
Pub and Club scene in Stirling has been revived in recent
year's, attracting large numbers of visitors to the centre
at weekends. The local bars have lots of atmosphere, perfect
feeders if you are going out clubbing. If clubbing is not
your scene, most pubs are open until 1am on Fridays and Saturdays.
There is CCTV throughout the town to ensure safety of the
party revelers, and stop any high spirits spilling over into
drunken behaviour.

The
Settle Inn
Stirling's Oldest Alehouse dating
back to the 1600's situated just down from the Castle. It was
recently been taken over by new management. The crowd is older,
the beer is good, and the atmospere very cosy. Even if you popped
in for a pint on your own, there was always someone to talk
to. The Settle Inn suffered in recent years with the larger
chain alehouses moving into the city centre, so the support
is needed to keep part of Stirling's history flourishing. |
NO.2
Baker St, Stirling.
Lots of real ales and nice wines, a more
relaxed type of place. There is no TV and music is either off
or very low so it's easy to hold a conversation. Food is served
during the day and early evening. Open until 1am at the weekend
as are the other pubs in Stirling.
Sometimes though, when they are busy you can smell the cooking
from the kitchen, which is either a turn on or off depending
on how you are feeling.

Sportsters
Sports Bar and Diner, Stirling.
Branded again, and pushing towards £3
a pint. Probably the best advice
is to get in before the big football matches, have a pint, then
move on to enjoy your evening out.
52 King Street. Stirling.

Drouthy
Neebors, Stirling.
Another attempt to create an authentic
Scottish pub. It's basically one of the main nightclub feeders.
During the week when it's quieter, the dark setting lends
itself to sitting over a few quiet reflective pints. There
are tartan booths and slate clad bar with an interesting painting
depicting the story of Tam O' Shanter on the ceiling.

you are after.

not necessary
