This is a good, traditional pub which, as the decor informs you, has been around for a long time.  It feels friendly inside with a clean, impressive, wooden bar and plenty of top quality spirits behind it.  Malt whiskey is its speciality and it has a great, but also expensive, selection.  Pints are reasonably priced at about \u00a33 each and they sell good quality, real ales and beers alongside the standard Tennents and Strongbow.  \nMathers also has plamsa TV screens which are always showing the latest football, rugby or boxing matches.  Naturally, this attracts a good bunch of 'lads', but on any given nights there's a good range of people, including locals and students.
