Granary

You'll find yourself on Thunderton Place in the heart of town, pushing through the doors of what feels like an Elgin institution. The Granary doesn't try to be anything it isn't—it's a straightforward pub where you can get a decent pint of something from the Belhaven stable, order chips without worrying about foam art on the plate, and actually hear yourself talk. The crowd's mixed: builders in high-vis rubbing shoulders with office workers ducking out early, pensioners claiming their usual spot at the bar. It's the kind of place that's probably been serving Elgin for decades and shows absolutely no signs of changing.
