A very nice Scottish bar in the centre of Dunedin. The atmosphere is cozy and there is a nice vibe to the place. It is quite small inside however, so on cold / rainy days it can be crowded inside. They have a good selection of many different beers and drinks. Their beer tasting is also quite nice, 5 beers for $14. A good way to try some different styles. The guy at the counter was very helpful in giving me advice on the drinks. Overall a good place to come and have a drink and a good time. Price per person $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Top notch! Bar tender is very helpful on recommending the right beer to taste, tasting plate consisted of 5 small cups only cost 14$, absolute bargain! we also ordered garlic bread and mussel pots- mussels are very fresh, most likely live, and cooked to perfection; garlic bread is suprisingly yummy too. Strongly recommended.

Nice little bar. Pot of mussels was tasty, but mussels were tiny. Tried their Salted Caramel Whiskey - Jury still out on that one, I enjoyed it, but wouldn’t get another. Great staff, nice selection of whiskey
No real good menu but their own made whiskey is the bomb ! Great place for beer too Price per person $20–30 Food: 3 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Cute little bar with great beer on hand pumps. Didn't stop looking but has a nice flyte of tasters and a couple of halves. Bacon roll and Patatas Bravas was basic but tasty and reasonably priced. Would have liked to explore the vast selection of whisky, maybe next time. Price per person $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Mixed Tapas

Dropped by "Al-bah" on Christmas Eve as part of cruise ship day stop in Dunedin and had a great pot Dunedin style mussels and the 5 beer tasting tray. Nice atmosphere, good food and beers on tap and the most happening spot on the street!!

Coming from Scotland myself, I was excited to take my German girlfriend here to try some Scottish cuisine. Between us we had the haggis balls, Lorne sausage and bacon roll, and patatas bravas. We enjoyed all 3 dishes however we both agreed that all were very over seasoned.
Old style pub with an excellent selection of beer including hand pumped at cellar temperature. Price per person $10–20 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
