Tucked away from the town centre, a great place for a pint or two. Especially if you like a little history! Read the notice board before or after you go in.

It's very rare in life that things live up to our expectations; the reality rarely matches the dream.
Now imagine that what you've been imagining, holds incredibly personal and special value to you, and it's even less likely that the thing or place connected to that will be able to live up to those preconceived hopes.
Osnaburg Street is an exception to that rule;
Osnaburg Street is where my mum, her sister, my gran and grandad lived in the years before the war; a war that (amongst other things) led to the family latterly relocating to the south of England, causing me to be in the first generation born south of the border.
After mum passed, I made the journey to Forfar, to see the street she grew up on; the chippy where my gran would have bought their fish suppers, and the pub that my grandad would have had a pint or two in.
You can imagine how much it meant to me to find a street that oozes charm, originality and social history, given its relevance to my family.
Unfortunately as my time was limited, I didn't get to have that fish supper, but I did buy things in two of the shops there and had a few pints of 80 Shillings with the locals who were a warm credit to both the town and the street.
If you long for days gone by, and an escape from the plastic, glass and stainless steel of today's soulless world, this is one place you should visit and soak up real life and real people.

Good to see this great bar under new ownership and thriving again.
Spent a good couple of hours in here before the Forfar v Hibs game yesterday, excellent bar staff and friendly locals. Never got involved in food.
Great
Spend most of my younger years in this pub. Sorry to hear that It might be closing down.
Good pub
