The Thistle Inn has been here for what seems like a millennia I can remember my dad drinking here when he was a young man, he used to come in here on. Friday night after he had his bath and my mum collected his " suit" from the pawnbrokers yes that's right " the pawn" I think everybody was poor in the fifties.
Anyway the intrerior has not changed much over the years except a paint job every few years, don't get me wrong it's a vey pleasant place to while a away a few hours whilst waiting for either the karaoke or DJ to appear, the bar is well stocked as is the spirits on offer moreover the lounge which is a wee bit small is very comfortable the only down side to the lounge is that the juke box is housed there meaning if you can't play a tune in the bar as the music is not piped through to the bar.
That's me bring pedantic the pub is great on a Sunday afternoon when the football is on and as the majority of the people support Celtic it's very atmospheric during a game but everyone is welcome and that makes for a great place to be on a Sunday or a Saturday night
The staff are excellent and very attentive and know everyone by name and I noticed that the entire pub is due a major refurbishment , notwithstanding the beer is great as are the clientele once the pub gets done up it may well get five stars read more
