City Walls

You'll find City Walls tucked away on the Back Walk, that cobbled stretch that feels properly old Stirling. It's the kind of pub where regulars nod at each other and the bar staff know what you're drinking before you ask. The place has that unpretentious vibe—worn wood, real ales on tap (Belhaven's got decent range), and a clientele that ranges from office workers escaping the town centre to genuine locals who've been coming here for years. Nothing fancy, nothing trying too hard. Just a proper pint, decent chat, and a pub that actually feels like it belongs to Stirling rather than some generic chain blueprint.
