Two weeks ago the Great British Pub Awards named The Lass O' Gowrie as UK Pub of the Year and also the Best Live Music and Entertainment Pub.
The Charles Street pub did amazingly well to win two such prestigious awards. It has always retained a traditional pub feel but also embraced many modern twists such as a lively theatre showcasing a range of new talent.
So who is the said lady of Gowrie? The name comes from a piece by Scottish poet Carolina Nairne which was a favourite of the Scottish landlord in the late 19th century when the pub opened. More at: www.thelass.co.uk Personally I have popped in from time to time with friends and colleagues ever since the late 1980s.

Looks like a great place Chrissy!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a cosy old Pub ! I love Pubs, I used to visit a lot when my son still lived in London, and draw people there. That was a nice time !

That pub opened before my little city existed (just a bit of perspective here)!
ReplyDeleteLove the look of those old pubs with the ceramic tiled exterior walls.
