have people nothing better to do with themselves than moan about the price of drink OK the drink is abit dear thats why i dont go out as much as i use to i go to the supermarket and get 20 bottles of bud for �£10 thats why the bars are emty mid week so owners of bars respect the customer and charge a reasonable price for the drink and maybe the punters will come back(FOOD FOR THOUGHT)many thanks

I told my friend and neighbour, Bruce, that he must go and see Gerry McCartney and the lads playing at the Fountain on a Friday. He'll be flying home in a few days, so I hope he makes it. I've heard wonderful reports about the Fountain. Cheers!

Great wee pub, go to it now and again. Service is always good and the barman with the brown hair is pretty tasty also.
