It is now in a fantastic location to take advantage of the forthcoming Waterfront and Marina development. Hopefully any new owners can introduce food or a restaurant type venue.

Take your pick. The Sovereign, The Steamboat, or The Clachan.

Jacksons :shock: :? clean forgot all about that!

Bud, I was in Whisky Macs a few weeks ago for a night out. I did not think it was rank rotten at all and we were well looked after by the very nice,friendly, funny and efficient host Craig.

Was it Jacksons when half of the pub was for teenagers, with gaming machines and pool tables?? I can remember being in there some years ago with my teeny bopper mates lol. :lol:
Have been in there many times since of course, but not one of my regular haunts.
I tend to go to feathers and magochans these days. :)

Although the majority (if not all) of the pubs in the town provide a warm welcome, I feel the one thing that lets them down is the standard of the toilets (well certainly the Gents anyway). With the exception of the Kilbrannan, where the loos are immaculate, this is where improvements could be made. :idea:

Pubs are too expensive and offer little in terms of entertainment. Why pay £2.80 for a bottle of Bud when you can buy 20 of them for a tenner?

For the company. To get out the house. Because drinking alone to often is sad. No-one goes to the pub for the actual drink. :roll:
