Lass O'Gowrie Hotel reviews
5 Star Review by Vincent B
Bartenders were lively and had a clear passion for the job, so refreshing to see and really added to the enjoyment of the night. DJ set was pure class, Virtual Self and The Prodigy? neat. Not to mention the drinks were well priced as well, and tasted great. Perfect atmosphere with a nice amount of people. Only complaint is the toilets werent so charming, but i guess it adds character to it. Cant wait to go again.
5 Star Review by Damien McGrath
An iconic local venue, serving those thirsty for a refreshing brew, and those hungry for the thumping sounds of legendary live music. You won't be disappointed with this art-focused venue, supported by a diverse superstar team who always bring the vibes you crave!
4 Star Review by Jennifer Robertson
Went here the other night for the first time in years. It is still a great pub. Very warm welcome and I sat outside in the beer garden for an open mic night on a Thursday night. Beautifully decorated with fairy lights but very low-key and a great place for casual catch-ups and enjoying a beautiful night outside.
5 Star Review by Jean Stora
Amazing vibe at the lass o'gowrie. This venue changed ownership a few years ago but the spirit is still there. Great place for live music. Very welcoming and drinks are well priced
