We were looking for local breweries and found Allanwater. We arrived at noon mid-week and were…read moreseated immediately. We were offered tasters of each brew and settled on two we liked.

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!).

The pizza itself was very tasty (I had mushroom and rocket salad), especially with blue cheese dip. My only complaint it was too loud because of the music, like in the nightclub, so was really hard to talks but considering they paid DJ so maybe that was the idea? They add 5% service charge on top of your bill, which is very modest these days!

Had dinner here and I would say it was just ok. First off, we got a starter of the Haggis Balls. I…read morehadn't tried Haggis before, so wanted to give it a shot, but they weren't great - a little sour tasting maybe? Not horrible, but not something I would order again. Someone else in our party liked Haggis and also thought these weren't good. So I would pass on these next time. For dinner, I initially ordered fish & chips, but they were out of the fish, so went for the Steak Sandwich. It was good, but not great. Others in our party had nachos, the battered chicken burger, and a Hawaiian pizza. Similar to my experience, I think they thought they were fine. For beers, the Yippee IPA was very good. I thought it was supposed to be a hazy, but didn't have the cloudiness to it, so I guess not. Had a higher IBU, but didn't taste bitter to me. Otherwise, just had a standard lager and then the Hazy Helles, which was ok, not great. Service was just average, as well. With the missing dinner items and then maybe being checked on once or twice, was just ok. The place has a cool vibe, though, and nice atmosphere.
