Old Bell Inn

Walk into the Old Bell and you'll immediately clock why this place has earned its loyal following down on Causewayside. It's the kind of pub where regulars prop up the bar and you don't feel like you've wandered into someone's private members' club if you're going solo. The drinks list takes itself seriously—proper craft beers and a rotating selection of Scottish ales—but the atmosphere stays refreshingly unfussy. Food-wise, they're doing proper pub classics done well, the sort of thing that pairs perfectly with a pint and doesn't pretend to be something it's not.
