I like Drouthy Neebors a lot. You know exactly what you're going to get, and it doesn't disappoint. You get a nice pub with a mix of students and older people, plenty of football and rugby coverage, excellent drinks prices, and a selection of events such as pub quizzes and, strangely, cards against humanity nights.
I enjoy going in for the six nations games, as you can get a free pint if Scotland win. The team is looking fairly strong this year, so there might be a few free pints going! Worth checking out. -

One of the most inexpensive pubs in this fine city of ours. The place is nice enough in that standard contemporary pub decor way. The staff are friendly as are the regulars. I always end up chatting to randoms when I am in here while propping up the bar.
The booze is a standard selection of draughts and spirits, but at riduculously cheap prices. They do one of the best pints of strongbow going. I know, I know its not exactly a premium cider but it is easy to get a bad pint of this stuff. Three pints less than a tenner with a healthy ammount of change coming back to you thumbs up from me.
No idea why the toilets get a bad rep as they are fine compared to many other places in this area.
Great for a quick cheap pint on the way to somewhere else. -

I knew Drouthy Neebors was a cheap drink, and knew some cheap drunks who frequented there, once upon a time. It felt absolutely the right place to meet up with a tourist, out in the sticks (also known as the Meadows... it has trees, am I right?). On a Sunday night, it is super quiet, and good for a natter. Not sure about the drinks options, as I was driving, although Fraoch was served there. Contrary to the other reviews, I wasn't traumatised by the toilets, definitely the Three Sisters shows a lot more 'history' than this place. Not a bad place at all.

About 2 years ago, this was my local, and whilst by no means a great place to drink, it was ok. The bar is quite chilled out normally, unless you have one of the weirdly frequent golf pub crawls coming through. The interior is pretty modern and looks okay. The staff were quite cool when I went in. There is definitely a divide between the regulars and the students, but apart from that the atmosphere is okay.
The drinks are a bit pricey for what they are. There is an okay selection of lagers, ciders and wines but they are all a just a bit too expensive for what the place is.
And onto what has already been said, the toilets are disgusting. They look like festival toilets on the last night, covered with filth, puke and other types of human waste. They truly are the worst I have ever seen, and in what is otherwise quite a nicely decked out pub -

Cheep (change from a £10 for 3 drinks!) and cheerful (friendly but professional staff) no frills (basic decor and TVs on) establishment with the normal selection of lager, strongbow, bottles and spirits. Drouthy Neebors doesn't particularly stand out, but it is a good pub for having a few beers after work, or one last pint on your way home.
