Raffles Bar in Dunfermline

Ah, Raffles Bar – it's one of those unassuming pubs that just hits the spot for a laid-back get-together. From what I've gathered, the staff are absolute gems, always up for a chat and making newcomers feel like old mates, which really adds to the homely atmosphere. The drinks selection is spot on, with everything from Guinness to ciders at prices that won't set you back much, ideal if you're out for a quick pint or a catch-up with friends. That juke box pumps out some cracking tunes, giving it a lively yet relaxed edge, and it's got that classic traditional pub charm that's hard to beat. On the flip side, it's a shame about the food – no kitchen on site, so you're stuck with basic bar snacks if hunger strikes, and it might not satisfy if you're after something more substantial. Plus, with hours that often end around 3 PM, it could feel a tad early for a proper night out. All in all, it's a solid choice for a friendly, budget-friendly stop, but keep those expectations in check for the grub and timings.
