the millcroft

I agree with dickyhart about Belhaven. Their pursuit of profit at all costs
can destroy a good local boozer, but congratulations to the locals who
managed to create a warm and friendly atmosphere on a busy Saturday
afternoon.
The bar area is a no-​frills sort of place but this is the ideal venue for football and racing fans, with plenty of screens and a bookie next door.
To their credit the bar staff managed to remain cheery enough despite
being run off their feet at times. Cost cutting in this department shows
exactly how little brewers care about employees or punters.
I enjoyed an excellent pint of Guinness although the overall choice was
poor.
Probably the cheapest prices in Rutherglen and miles ahead of some of
the opposition.

Ahh! The Millcroft, locally known as the New Orleans.
A fairly large looking pub, but its not. The lounge is quite small and the Wallace bar a bit larger with a function suite upstairs.
the lounge looks ok when you walk in, but the toilets are an absolute joke. The have the usual karaōke at the weekends. They did try live music, but the regulars put paid to that. The bar staff are efficient in their duties, if a bit impersonal. Draught Beers and lagers are limited, but a good choice of bottled drinks and spirits. The wallace bar is a typical west of scotland drinking mans establishment, very few woman go in this bit. The function suite upstairs is stuck in 1992. and has a very bizarre entrance. You have to go through the lounge area and many attending the function end up there by mistake. Not the best pub in the world, but not the worst either. its unpretentious and doesnt claim to be something it isnt. Got taken over by Belhaven breweries recently and they have knocked out any soul it had left.
