The space is a little crammed given the number of customers. Recommend getting here early to grab a table or bar seat.

The thing that stood out was that while I was sitting here drinking my beer this woman suddenly got up and started singing caberet, but then again this is France, so people singing Caberet shouldn't be all that surprising. The place had a lovely atmosphere, and like many of the small bars, was pretty quaint, and quiet, as well. Certainly worth checking out.

Scotland Fire's a great pub, with guess what? Yep, a Scottish theme…read more Living in Lille as a poor English Assistant, this place served me cheap pints, and worked its way into many fond memories of that year. It's usually less crowded than its Irish pub neighbor a couple doors down, which is how my friends and I found it originally (we were looking for a low-key drink on a random weeknight). It's centrally located to many other bars and clubs in Lille, so it's great for a stop on a busy many-stop bar crawl, or just for a little change of pace before (or after) a stop at the club.

Well, where should I start. As a 50% Scot, 50% Dutchie who's heart is in Scotland but who's on…read moreholiday in Lille, I might not have too much to say, but still..... No one in the whole bar was Scottish or even British. They barely even spoke English. The decor, music, drinks and everything was far from Scottish. The 'O'Scotland' beer, their own beer, was more like a darkish brown Belgium draft beer. And it wasn't even good. In other words, far from Scottish, just using the name and that's it. Really, really disappointed.

The owner/server sat us outside and was very graciously about our embarrassing lack of French and explained the menu to us in English. The pork cheeks and fish and chips we had were dynamite! Both dishes were well seasoned and flavorful; the fish and chips in particular had the best texture - flaky and crispy but tender. Dessert was a pot de creme (I think) and it was absolutely delicious! Fork battles were fought for the last bite. Do try this tiny little establishment, it's a gem.
