College is a good bar. Not overly priced if you avoid peroni.

 

Always thought it was alright excellent for the football as they have loads of tv's.

 

Never seen a bar that quiet at that time of night, was myself and two american gadgies in the place! One dude came in looked at what he thought was the food menu (was the cocktails) and about turned and left!

 

Went up to dizzys for a half after that and it was out the door.

 

Im not generally tight but

It was a good bar a few years back, did a good lunch and in the evening was always fair busy.

 

Now it is just standard PB Devco fare, over-priced, trying to look modern and full of posers.

 

True that. Bet it still takes in a decent amount though. Weekends will still be busy.

Certainly is, I work nae too far from there, so it still sometimes makes an appearance on a Friday night out from work. Always hoaching.

 

PB Devco have recently taken over the Howff (I think, certainly only recently I have noticed on their posters). Hope they dinnae change it like the rest of theirs.

 

Another thing, why is Peroni charged at such a premium? It is ok, but not really that great, certainly wouldn't be one of my first choices in a pub.

Was there for the champions league final and the bar was hoaching. Good atmosphere and the prices were standard town prices.

 

Out of interest, what channel did they show that game on?

 

The reason I ask if because they had the Real vs Bayern semi final on some foreign channel [despite it being on ITV] with the volume off, and music on in the bar.

 

Found it strange as quite often used to watch fitba in there.

Was gonna ask the same thing, certainly wouldnt be high on my list of drinks. Prince of Wales charge over the odds for it too even though the rest of their drinks are reasonable.

Was on a foreign channel but with English presenters and commentators. Gary Lineker was in the studio for it. Commentary was on loud, and no music in the bar.

All the Belhaven Pubs market it heavily too. Remember that about a year ago they were advertising a pint in every pub at "only

it was just because the two taps i sat down in front off there was some weird stuff that i had never heard off, red strip (which was off) and peroni, the only other tap i seen was for tuborg and im still nae quite sure about it.

 

I never really stick to one beer, which ever one that catches my eye first! Favorite tap would be Heinaken or Amstel but hardly any bars doing it!

That'll be Al Jazeera then.

 

They have some excellent presenters.

 

Lineker seems to be much more at ease on Al Jazeera than on BBC.
