The Amethyst — Restaurant in Scotland

Recently moved to the local area and decided to pop down about 10pm on a Tuesday with a friend. Was really pleasantly surprised to see around 20 people in a local pub on a Tuesday night with quite a good atmosphere.

My friend and I were impressed by good value pints but disappointed that the barmaid called last orders at 10.30pm despite their website showing a closing time of 12am.

Undeterred we tried to enjoy our pints but the barmaid started quite quickly to close up, clearing tables is understandable but we found turning lights off and loudly pulling down shutters to be quite uncomfortable.

Upon leaving, I tried to ask for clarification for future reference, and was advised that the bar closed at 11pm, despite the information online.

A regular did explain that the closing time depends on how many people are in the bar but if 20 patrons aren’t enough for a Tuesday in a residential area I can’t see it ever being open to 12.

A nice atmosphere but I’m not sure how comfortable we will...

Attended a staff Christmas dinner here a few weeks ago. The Veggie soup starter contained ham (which obviously couldn't be served to the Vegetarians & vegans), after about an hour the rest of our group where served their starters of chips and humus & bread (the vegan option). The main was just frozen veg, aunt Bessie roasties and bland meat which we presume was turkey, somehow it took them over an hour to microwave our main. After being in the restaurant for about 3 and half hours, most guests had given up and left.... finally we where served dessert. Dessert was advertised as: whippy icecream, winter berries and crushed meringue. We where each served a scoop of Cornish Icecream, covered in so much squirty cream the bowl was overflowing, some crushed meringue and a single...
