Half-Decent Pubs Suggest others Here
The Hole i' the Wa is situated on the High Street just across from Woolworth's, and the entrance to it is literally a hole in the wall. However once you are inside it is anything but small. The beer is reasonably priced, there is a reasonably sized bar menu, with very good prices, and the food is to be recommended. There are a couple of TV screens and Sky Sports is normally on. Leaving by the rear entrance, you find yourself in a narrow lane, turn left and roughly 100 yards along the lane on the left is a firm favourite of mine.

The Stag is just off the High Street in Bank Street is The Stag, definitely a pub for men, though you will find the odd woman. There is a fair selection of beer, though no food menu that I know about. The Stag has a pool table and darts board as well as a tv, again I'm not sure about Sky. The beer is again excellent, and The Stag is handy for a couple of nearby bookies. Bank Street is easy to find, as it is just down from the Steeple.

Heading North up the High Street, turn down Buccleuch St and follow the road right across the bridge. You are now within a stones throw of Palmerston. There are a handful of pubs here including The Salutation, and The Spread Eagle. The Salutation is another "man's", but serves a good pint and has a pool table and tv. These pubs are also in close proximity to a bookies.
