You know, this is a great little pub. The boyfriend and I went out with some friends for pre-…read moredinner drinks and also to watch a football match. This being a local favourite for many years, this was the perfect spot to stop on our way to dinner. I really enjoyed this little pub because it was local to where we were and the atmosphere was cozy and more on the quiet side. I quite enjoy being in a pub with friends and being able to enjoy drinks and conversation without having to yell in to their ears or not understand them whatsoever. I also quite enjoy pubs where everyone knows each other, and this pub was just that. Everyone was chatting with everyone and I felt included in everything. Buckshead Tavern, although a bit on the old side, has three TV's, a pool table and a wee casino machine to play if you're so inclined. The women's toilets were clean and massive- always a welcomed sight in pubs. The bartender was friendly and service was quick and efficient. The prices are what makes this place a local favourite, I'm sure. There were 5 of us to start and each round of drinks was only £13.05! If we were anywhere in the city, that would have been enough for two drinks. Bonus for sure. Most definitely be back for cheap booze and great chat.

When we couldn't get a taxi home the owner gave us a ride home in his truck. Anybody near Armadale on vacation should definitely try this bar.

The oldest pub in Linlithgow, this tavern actually derives its name from the town coat of arms…read more The pub is a traditional, local pub, but very welcoming. They are proud of their namesake, which centres on the story of the black greyhound of Linlithgow, whose master was imprisoned on an island in the middle of the nearby Loch and sentenced to starve to death. Everyday the greyhound swam out to her master with food and ended up saving his life. The locals call themselves 'Black Bitches' after the dogs symbolic loyalty. A great local, if quiet, tavern serving a range of real ales. It also has a nice beer garden. Apparently there is a folk music night every third Sunday of the month too.

Instead it's an old-fashioned, traditonal pub in an Edinburgh dormitory town filled to bursting with old fashioned, traditional pubs. Apart from the bizarre cross-burning moniker, there's not too much to get excited about. A few years back my cronies and I would come out in Linlithgow quite a bit as we begun to look for a more serene nightlife experience. The Bitch wasn't always on our radar, but on the occasions we did come in it was perfectly adequate.

It's quite a small pub and it can get pretty busy on Friday and Saturday evenings, but the clientele are really friendly and warm, as are the staff, so it's not an issue. I've been drinking in here for well over ten years with a crowd of friends and it's become the traditional venue for our Christmas Eve pintage. The place was bought over several years ago by a well-known local publican who had a good reputation for fixing pubs up, getting them running well and moving on. He's never moved on from The Sheaf - which must tell you something! On draft there's always a really good selection of guest ales as well as the standards. There's been a real focus on ale in here and you're always assured something interesting to try. The staff are top-class, I'm always greeted with a warm smile. For me The Sheaf comes into it's own on a cold winter's night - it's small, cosy, there's an open fire, auld men with dogs, great malts, tasty ales and a warm welcome.

Try the Cullen Skink, their Vintage Mac n Cheese with bacon, the fresh pea soup with mint, and the fish and chips. Enjoy their local drafts and sample their gin menu. Actually, you should try the entire Menu not just the specials. That's what we ended up doing. Fortunately they were located just a block away which made it so convenient for us. Love that they are dog friendly in the bar and the outside area. Warm and cozy environment with lots of history to read about. We will miss this place.
