Ah, The Montgomerie Arms – what a gem of a spot in East Kilbride! I have to say, it's got this incredible historic charm that's just spot on, dating back to 1656, and you can really feel that old coaching inn atmosphere as soon as you step inside. The staff are an absolute delight, always up for a chat and making sure everyone feels welcome, which really makes the place shine. Plus, the drinks selection is brilliant, especially the whisky, and it's all at prices that won't break the bank, making it perfect for a relaxed catch-up with mates. And if you're lucky enough to pop in on a Sunday, the folk music sessions are a real treat – they add such a fun, lively energy to the evening. On the downside, though, the decor hasn't seen much love since the 80s, so it might come across as a bit tired for those who prefer something more modern. Also, it's not the go-to place if you're after a hearty meal, as options seem a tad sparse, and the prices have nudged up over the years, which is a shame. All in all, it's a solid choice for a pint and good company, but it'd be even better with a few updates to keep that historic feel fresh.
