Laurieston Bar — Restaurant in Great Britain

Unfortunately, the Laurieston isn't the same pub that it once was. It's been overrun by hipsters, students and bar staff who are running the place into the ground – as a result, past regulars, including myself, are gradually being pushed out.

Not your typical drinking establishment more's the pity, and likely not to everybody's taste. But for we refugees from a happier age, it's balm...

Would possibly give another go if I'm in area as said previously the drinks were great just hope the trained there staff to be a bit more...
