I've also just discovered it's now called the Allanwater Brewhouse! A group of us visited here on Saturday night. I'd never been to Bridge of Allan but was pleasantly surprised at what a nice area it seemed to be. The brewery is off the main road and it can be a little confusing where to go but thankfully we stumbled through the right door (look for people milling around in the beer garden, and then go in there!). Inside it's a pretty interesting space to sit in - high ceiling, lots of beers adorning the walls as well as beer paraphernalia and a cosy, well worn vibe. For a better description of what it's like read Jenni G's review! We ended up sitting right by the fire (which, although it wasn't on was still warm) on beer kegs with cushions which was a really cosy spot. For a Saturday night it was busy but not heaving so it was good to be able to get a seat and have a chat without it being too noisy or cramped. I didn't go up the bar myself so can't comment on the staff or prices, but they seemed to have an interesting selection of beers (mango) and I enjoyed my oj & lemonade (haha!).

I wanted to exchange Circle Jerks lyrics with them, but I kept it to myself. The food: I had haggis for the first time and it was a revelation. By far the best meal I've had on this trip. If you find yourself in the charming city of Stirling, do yourself a favor and visit Nicky-Tam's.

We then got some tasters of their beers (three real ales and some craft beer too) and settled down to peruse the short but sweet menu in the very welcoming interior. The waitress was very nice too and both staff members were very dog friendly, with Luna enjoying some doggy treats courtesy of the house too. We chose our meals (a main sided portion of mussels and fish and chips with crushed peas) and enjoyed our beers. The food did take a while to come out but we were treated to a lovely crustini each free of charge whilst waiting. When our food came it was really good. A very large and fresh fish with lovely peas, and the mussels were excellent too. If definitely come back here and suggest you visit too.

I've been a big fan of the Brewdog brand for awhile now, and I have to say that this location in…read moreStirling's city centre may just be my favourite to date! Around the corner from a sea of chain pubs, Brewdog stands out as the perfect way to unwind and relax after a day of sightseeing in Stirling. Brittany A. and I, along with our dog Penny, stopped in for a late lunch and a pint. This Brewdog follows the interior design of most of the bars in the group with a re-adapted industrial theme present. Stirling's Brewdog has an unpretentious, neighbourhood feel to it. There is a ton of seating, with six large booths and a long lounge style booth at the front. They definitely want you to stay, with free WIFI, board games, and a pinball machine. You'll find the standard Brewdog brews here, as well as a featured guest tap list. I tried a long-time favourite, Weihenstephan's hefeweizen on tap, and Brittany tried a bottled cider. We've never dined at Brewdog - we usually end our nights at the bar. We tried two of their pies and split an order of sweet potato fries. The pies are made by Pieminister, based in Bristol and shipped in to each Brewdog location. It's hard to tell, as my vegetarian friendly Heidi pie with sweet potatoes, spinach, and goat cheese tasted absolutely fresh and delicious. Brewdog, as one would hope, is dog friendly, providing Penny with water, ample treats, and a lot of attention during our visit. Most of my Brewdog experiences have lasted an hour or two at most. With friendly faces, a laid back atmosphere, and plenty to do, I could spend a whole day in Brewdog Stirling.
