Drinks & Nightlife
Allan water brew pub, 10 minute drive into bridge of Allan. You can only find these beers here, as you might have already guessed they brew them in the pub. It's a lovely little place, very small town Scottish feel, lots of wood and sometimes live music. If you get hungry you can buy fish and chips from Alan water cafe (best fish & chips in town) and they let you bring them back and eat them in the pub.

10 minutes walk from the house or a couple of minutes in the car, cosy quiet little pub with an agricultural theme. It's the sort of place you go to relax after a hard days holidaying, it gets a bit busier on Friday and Saturday but its never rowdy. It has beautiful views over the meadow and the hills in the day time and on a nice day everything feels right sipping a pint and looking over the glen. (although it has one of the worst music playlists I've heard in a while, I swear i heard them play boyzone last night)

This is my favourite pub in Stirling, they brew their own beers at a site in Aberdeen and they constantly rotate their stock so theres always something new to try. It's got an industrial feel to the place and the lights are quite low so its a good place to hide out. Make sure you try before you buy, always ask the bartender so you get the perfect pint - they're not cheap!
