It is absolutely impossible that this bunch of sheepshaggers are even close to being as big a bunch of wankers as the BrewDog cocks. I’ll give the Fierce bar a go.

frankblack Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Went in yesterday after the Manics gig at the Usher Hall. I really wasn't impressed. The place didn't look fully decorated and furniture looked cheap and felt uncomfortable to sit. The beer I tried wasn't great, and my brother didn't rate his either. Left after one pint. Maybe others will like it but the decor and the drink didn't cut it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough we were saying same about the decor when it wasn't as busy Looks a bit like one of the festival fringe pop up bars I was luckier with the beer though my pint was excellent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
