A proper local's pub on St John's Place where the ale flows and the chat flows better. Real Perth institution.

Located on St John's Place in the heart of the city centre, it's the sort of pub where regulars have their spots and newcomers are welcomed without fuss. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between convivial and unpretentious—you can nurse a pint alone without feeling awkward, or get swept up in proper banter at the bar.
