    We've made our home on Barnton Street, a small traditional bar in the heart of Stirling.

  2. The collection

    The shelves carry single malts from every corner of Scotland, from the Hebrides to Speyside, reasonably priced.

  3. The welcome

    Our owner Mandy knows every bottle and loves helping folk find a dram worth remembering.

  4. Today

    A calm, friendly bar for anyone who wants good whisky and good conversation, without the noise.

Good to Know

A few things visitors often ask before they pop in.

Do I need to know about whisky to come in?
Not at all. Mandy loves introducing people to their first malts as much as chatting with seasoned drinkers, so just ask and she'll guide you.
What's the atmosphere like?
We're a quiet, traditional bar, more of a calm spot for a good dram and a blether than a lively party venue. Come along when it's quiet and you'll get the best of us.
Do you only serve whisky?
Whisky is our thing, but we also keep a good selection of beers, spirits and gins, so there's something for everyone in your group.
How many whiskies do you have?
More than 300 bottles, from Hebridean and Speyside single malts to rarer drams, and most are reasonably priced.
Do you take bookings?
For groups or a special occasion it's best to give us a ring on 01786 447191 and we'll sort you out.
Where can I park?
We're right in the centre of Stirling on Barnton Street, with public car parks a short walk away.
