About This Pub
Ah, East Port Bar – it's one of those pubs that just warms your cockles the moment you step inside. From what I've gathered from folks who've been there, the staff are proper stars, always going the extra mile with a smile and a helping hand, like sorting out that rewards app for a free drink. The selection of local ales is spot on, and there's something for everyone, whether you're in for a quiet one or getting stuck into the live sports on the screens. That beer garden is a lovely touch too, ideal for a bit of fresh air and a chinwag with mates, and it's great that they welcome dogs along for the ride. On the downside, it does fill up quickly when there's a big game on, so you might end up jostling for space or waiting a tick for service. Still, overall, it's a solid choice for a good night out in Dunfermline – honest, welcoming, and full of that classic pub charm that keeps you coming back.

Great staff , lovely beer garden brilliant entertainment all bar tenders are top notch very polite espically Mitch he helped me sign up to the mixr app where I got a free drink
Rarely do you walk into a bar to be greeted by someone as handsome as the Bar Manager, Matty. A warm smile, sometimes met by a cuddle depending on how he’s feeling - it just sets the night off brilliantly. Hailing from Aberdeen, he has thankfully lost his accent and sounds more posh Edinburgh now.
Fife’s own Tom Hardy, Matty and his team truly are wonderful and I urge anyone considering going in to do just that. The pints and vibes are just what you need.
Always have the best time in this pub! Our favourite by far, all staff Mitch, Helen Gina, Cara (forget other names) sorry are all fab! Atmosphere & service is great our wee dog Jeanie's picture is on the wall and also loves the attention she gets when she is in 😄
Popped into the East Port pub in Dunfermline and found some great cask ale which is sadly lacking in Scotland. Had some Shining Knight from Loch Leven brewery which was crystal clear and a great drop as they say. Mitch and Gina, happy to let us sample before buying. Great job, just had the two, honest guv.
This is our local pub and we absolutely love it here, best wee pub, right in the centre of town! Always a warm and welcoming smile from the staff and other pub goers when you walk in. Great place to get a catch up with friends, watch sports, listen to live music and now the pub quiz is coming back too! Of course the main perk is that it is dog friendly which is great seeing all the local puppers welcome!
Special shout out to Pauline, Gina, Carra and Mitch, they make us feel so at home and always have a good laugh when we are in. They keep the place running and are just the best! 💛
