About This Pub
Ah, The Graeme Hotel Bar & Restaurant in Falkirk – it's one of those places that really hits the mark for a relaxed night out with mates. From the reviews I've seen, the service stands out as a real winner; it's quick, friendly, and makes you feel like you're among pals right from the off. The food is another highlight – folks are raving about the hearty dishes, like that stunning Christmas turkey meal or a solid family dinner, all served up with plenty of flavour and those little extras that make it memorable. And let's not forget the beer garden, which seems to be the talk of the town for a sunny afternoon session. The atmosphere is buzzing and welcoming, which is just what you want for a good chat and a laugh. On the downside, it does tend to liven up as the evening goes on, with crowds getting a bit rowdy over the footie and some language that might not suit everyone, especially if you're out with the family. There was that one off-putting story about someone being shown the door without much of a heads-up, which is a shame and could make you think twice about pushing the boat out. All things considered, it's a solid choice if you're after good value and a proper local feel, but maybe best for when you're up for a bit of energy rather than a quiet night in.

There have been a few reports of unfair treatment from staff, like someone getting asked to leave without a proper warning, which could put a dampener on things.

In for drinks, good service and the best beer garden in the area. Prices for drinks okay. Otherwise recommend!
First time being here today, will definitely return. Food was fab, service was great and the atmosphere was welcoming, buzzing and friendly.
Very well run venue 😁
Perfect location for all local amenities
My partner ended up getting kicked out of the pub area for nothing? Barmaid claimed she had previously spoken to him multiple times when he was sat next to me the whole time and never once said anything to any of us as we were in a group. Not once was he given a warning about any form of “bad behaviour” previously. Yes I obviously understand that some of the language that was used was “unprofessional” but it’s a Friday night in a pub, of course there’s going to be adults using language like that. Think it’s incredibly unfair on how this situation was handled and as someone who has managed pubs previously, never would I say “I’ve told you before” when I’ve never actually had an interaction with said person. Highly unprofessional and just blatant lies. Fair enough, pull him up for use of language but no need to lie about it?
Family meal in the bar/restaurant food was fantastic, service was fab too and was a lovely space its just as it gets later there was a slight crowd in drinking and watching football so it did get a little noisy after 5pm and a few men cursing which I wouldn't have minded if we didn't have 3kids and 3 just turned teenagers. All in all bits we'll worth it but would have been nicer to have the table further from the bar area but it is a small venue. Will be back again though 😀
Just had a beautiful Christmas meal, quite possibly the best Turkey I've ever eaten, and I've had a few Turkey dinners, all the usual stuff with the lovely addition of a large yorkshire pudding, the whole thing was lush and plenty of it. Had a prawn cocktail starter and trio of puddings. Very well worth the money for 3 courses. Only one small negative, and it's minor, was our table of 9 was split into 2 separate tables instead of having us all together. I'd definitely recommend.
