    My Mother, and her friends, absolutely adore this place. And Dave, yes THE Dave, himself... is a great guy. Always willing to go the extra mile for his customers and friends. Recently, for my Mom's birthday, I had to accompany her here... much later than I wanted. And even tho I was tired and ready to go to bed, I saw how much the locals loved and respected my mom... even when she dropping her glass of chardonnay. After telling me loving stories about her, a woman and her husband looked at me and said, "If you wanna go back home, we will take care of your mom and get her home safe." Scottish Dave's Pub is essentially "CHEERS"... you wanna go where everyone knows your name.

    So we ended up here for a drink after a nice dinner across the street at the new Nataz, Scottish Dave's is a very typical dive bar, pool tables, darkly lit, they do have a Touch Tunes juke box which is a plus, they have weekly food specials, and our drink pours were generous. However, and there is a big however, the place smells awful, of mold and mildew, so much so that I would never want to return, and couldn't entertain eating there. I do hear they have entertainment and Scottish food specialties.

    With Scottish Dave!

    Scottish Dave is legit, people. And I'm talking the *person* Scottish Dave, not just the establishment that is his namesake. The man literally stands just inside amongst his patrons and greets all who walk in, introducing himself with a friendly handshake, his pleasantly thick accent, and, if you so like, a drink recommendation. (Have the Scottish brew Belhaven. It will certainly not disappoint.) There are darts, a jukebox, pool table, and yes, a menu featuring the haggis supper. No joke. Scottish Dave vouches for it ... Reportedly oats are what make it "fluffy." I instantly loved the man, but Imma gonna stick with Belhaven for now. Whether you're a haggis-lovin kinda guy or gal, this place has, eh, fookin grrrrrrate vibes and is so worth a visit.

    A great Saturday night at Scottish Dave's.

    See all

    Probably the best prime rib on the shoreline, surprisingly enough. Yes, a dive bar but one of the better ones.Great people.

    We made our first visit here several days ago, dropping in for a midday lunch on a pretty crowded…read moreSunday. With some good and some not-so good, we concluded that we aren't likely to return -- in spite of the really yummy tartar sauce (more on that in a moment). Penny Lane is a bit of an English Pub-style restaurant on two levels. We ate upstairs since the lower level was filled (steps, no elevator that we saw). Service was slow to nonexistent. It took us ten minutes to get recognized by a server who asked if we wanted something to drink and took another five minutes to get it. After we ordered we waited 25 minutes to get our food. We got no drink refills. Maybe service is better in the first floor? Ah, the food. Fish and Chips is essentially pub food, so that's what we got. The crust was light and buttery, quite good. The fish was utterly without any sort of flavor, as bland as could be imagined in your worst imagining. The tartar sauce was super good, but it just couldn't disguise the fact that the fish was tasteless. We also tried the poached egg and corned beef hash, which was ok though the hash was kind ... well, and of a hash, unremarkable at best. Conclusion: There was little that was appealing in our experience. Oh yeah, another ten minutes to get our bill... a long afternoon.

    Good pub. Decent food. Great service. Judging by some other reviews, I think we hit it just right…read moreand they weren't too busy for lunch on a Saturday. The bar seating was full, but we got right in upstairs at a cozy larger dining room. Service was excellent, professional, and did a great job. The menu was attractive. Lots of different drinks, classic pub food, your typical burgers, and fish and chips kinda stuff. But also a lot of other goodies too. I had the BBQ pulled pork sandwich with fries. It tasted good, the brioche roll was very fresh. I could have been seasoned more. I wasn't wow'd by it, but it was good. Fries were average, but tasted ok. I think the pricing was reasonable. I would definitely give Penny Lane Pub another try. I'm guessing though in the summer this place is tough to get into, just the vibe I got.
