While taking a trip to see Loch Ness, we broke the trip up in two days, and stopped in Perth. While…read morethere, we caught a show at the Perth Concert Hall. This venue was very nice. the seats were larger than most places, with a very good sound system, a large stage that provided good visuals for every seat in the area. The main entry way is large and welcoming with an almost futuristic look to it. Apparently they're currently looking to update it's look, which is sad, because as a first time visitor, I thought it looked grand. We caught the Circus of Horrors there, and though I understand this wasn't their typical show, it was pretty damn awesome.

A decent local cinema…read more It has a retro look from the outside, with old school lettering spelling PLAYHOUSE on the front of the building, with letters missing. I have never discovered if this is intentional or they just cannot be bothered changing the light bulbs. Inside, you have a very unremarkable cinema. Seven screens of wildly varying quality - no surround sound except in screens 1 to 3 - and old looking seating with the usual sticky floor, worn feeling of an older cinema. My main gripe is that the cinema has so many screens, yet it will hold onto mainstream movies long after appeal has subsided, moving them down to less and less impressive screens, milking them as long as possible. I feel the cinema could do with a more eccentric taste in film, with a faster turnover. I would certainly go to the cinema more if they played more unusual movies, such as foreign choices or indie movies. There is no need to keep playing Star Trek for about a month and a half when you could play something a little more interesting instead. Mainstream blockbusters are fine and have their place, but with such an old, historic building, the cinema could do with carving out a reputation for supporting lesser known cinema, a lot like the Dundee Contemporary Arts has.

My boyfriend and I were in Perth on holiday and this was the first pub we stopped in after we…read moredropped our bags off at the hotel. We weren't really sure what to expect, but when we walked in, there were about 8 men standing around the bar with one guy behind the bar. I'm always a little intimidated walking in to a pub I don't know, that kinda looks like it would be an old mans pub, being a woman, it's just not something I do. But with my boyfriend by my side, I can do anything but walking in to Auld Hoose, I felt the most comfortable I've felt walking in to a pub in a long time. The guy behind the bar was super friendly, served us our drinks and was very chatty with the patrons. He was cracking jokes with everyone and it just had an overall feel of being part of something. This pub was definitely my favourite out of all the pubs we went in to while in Perth. It had the feel the mix of Ben Nevis in Finneston and Three Judges in Partick. All wood, loads of windows, sports on the TV and loads of old mirrored signs about the place. Definitely a must see if you're in Perth, we will for sure be back next time we're in town.

While away on a weekend of debauchery with the other half's brass band, I found out that one of his…read morefriends from Uni lived in the area and that we were going to meet up with him for lunch. Right, so I was in charge of finding a place. To be honest, there's not much Yelp help in Perth, but I did find this place, which seemed reasonable (and cheap), and could probably take the six to eight of us who were going to go to lunch. (As the location I tried before was unlikely to be able to fit us all in). The pub is very nice! It seems like it's not really going to be there, but all of a sudden you happen upon it. It's also a pub that does table service. Which is a bit odd, but also kind of nice when you're waiting for people. Four people had pies (fish, steak and ale, and chicken and ham) and they all really seemed to like them. The other half and someone else had the Balmoral chicken (chicken with bacon and haggis), and they both raved about it. I had the tex-mex burger (a chili burger with onion rings, cheese, and a spicy sauce), and I was very impressed with how spicy everything was (one of my pet peeves is seeing "spicy" on the menu and the food not being at all spicy). The pub itself is quite spacious and has an outdoor seating area (if that's your thing, which in November, it's definitely NOT my thing). If we're back up for the band competition next year, we may have to stop in again.

The Twa Tams is one of the many places my love and I went for a pint and a bite to eat while we…read morewere in Perth on holiday. We decided to make a night of it one night, and ordered food and drinks while waiting for a band to play. We were able to book a table and asked to be seated close enough to the stage so that we could enjoy the band. The band of the night was a band called Tunna (pronounced Ton-a) who were a Celtic band. My boyfriend is pretty particular about his music, but we quite enjoyed ourselves, even though we only stayed for half the set. It was a really loud set up, and we decided the next time we make our way to Perth and happen upon this place, we'll ask to be sat a bit farther away. The food was pretty spot on. We ordered some chicken wings to start which were absolutely delicious and it came with the best BBQ sauce I'd ever had. I meant to ask what kind it was, but forgot. For the mains, he ordered a burger with haggis on it, which came with chips and I ordered the gourmet chili dog, without jalapenos which also came with chips. We also ordered onion rings to share, which I thought were pretty gross. They reminded me of the frozen ones you can get out of Morrisons that are basically minced onion in a battered ring. Yick. All in all, the staff was pretty amazing. Very tentative and waited on us at our tables. That's the first time I'd ever been in to a pub and had table service. We had two different people wait on us, and it was pretty great. They had one of my favourite ciders available (spiced apple) and we also had a voucher for a fiver off, just for joining their email on their website. There is an outdoor patio area with loads of seating for eating and drinking. Pretty great once the weather gets a bit warmer! If we're ever in Perth again, I'm sure we'd stop back by Twa Tams! It's great time!
