Robins Bar in Wishaw

Ah, Robins Bar in Newmains – it's one of those places that really warms you up on a chilly evening, you know? From what I've gathered from the reviews, the staff are just brilliant; Robin and Brian come across as real pros who keep things ticking along nicely, and the crowd is always up for a laugh, making it feel like a proper community hub. With a stellar 4.6 rating from folks who've popped in, it's clear this spot does a lot right, like fostering that friendly atmosphere where you can relax and enjoy yourself. But, let's be honest, it's not all perfect – there are a couple of gripes about drinks not being up to scratch, with some saying they're watered down or not what's ordered, and it's a shame there's no alcohol-free options for those who fancy a soft one. Plus, for being in a more run-down part of town, the prices might leave you scratching your head a bit. Still, if you're after a solid local for a pint and some good company, it's worth a go, just keep those niggles in mind so you're prepared.
