Still have to wear masks though and the pubs all shut at midnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only pub I've been in recently that monitored that was Shakespeare's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gorgie Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Was in a pub in newington ( won't mention by name) but they weren't strict, didn't have to wear a mask to go to the toilet, could order at the bar like normal. Was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there was some landlord on stv news lAst week stating clearly that he would continue with “ safety “ measures once they were lifted . People will vote with their feet ! Great that no booking from tomorrow and then no distancing etc just like before ! Bring it on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring it on Pubs are closing left right and centre because staff are getting pinged to self-isolate, so I think you will find that doesn't happen and people have a choice of going to some shithole or a decent pub that has safety measures.

As you’re a stag do you may well struggle to get in as a group, it’s 10 folk from 4 households as off yesterday. Maybe better to book in as two groups in advance.
