Stranraer Football Social Club

9-15, North Strand St
Stranraer

(01776) 704121

Home of the diehard Stranraer FC fan. If cheap beer is your thing, then this could be the place for you. The Social club used to be small and smokey, but recent renovations have seen it become a great place for a pre-match pint. Whatever team you support you will be made welcome. Upstairs in the Social Club there is a games room with a snooker and pool table. The new extension to the Social Club has resulted in their being an excellent Function room at the back of the Club. At the weekends there is a busy disco.

The bar is a 15 minute walk to Stair Park. Quite close to a couple of restaurants downtown. Plenty of taxis available close by.
