About This Pub
Ah, The Railway Tavern in Falkirk is one of those timeless pubs that really captures the spirit of a good old Scottish local. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the staff are usually spot on – always up for a bit of banter and keeping things cheerful, which makes you feel right at home. It's packed with fun activities like pool, darts, and even dominoes, so if you're in the mood for some light-hearted competition, this is your go-to. The drinks are sensibly priced too, meaning you can settle in for the evening without breaking the bank, and they've got a lively vibe with cracking music and karaoke that gets everyone involved. Plus, it's a welcoming spot for dog owners, which adds a nice community feel. On the flip side, there was that one off experience where someone found the service a tad brusque, like they were in the way, so it might not be perfect every time. And while it's stood the test of time, a few areas do look like they could use a spruce-up to keep things fresh. All in all, it's a solid choice for a relaxed pint and a laugh, but keep in mind it doesn't do food, so plan accordingly if you're peckish.

This is a more traditional bar with pool, darts and dominoes. Low priced with friendly staff. Always up for fun.

Boabs doing Karaoke as usual lots of folk in, xmas partying at the Tav
Great staff and good for a laugh, always keep themselves busy but have time to talk to the average punter. Good music as well as a pool table
Great pub that has stood the test of time well.

Nice pub, friendly staff and great atmosphere 👌 though some parts could do with a fresh coat of paint
Alright place in a good location, but the barmaid was extremely snappy, barely available and did not make one feel welcome. Mainly like we were a nuisance that were too loud for cheering after winning a card game...
