Custom Brewcrafters Rye Ale

Located at 277 Alexander Street, The Old Toad is nothing short of your traditional British local. From the staff to the food and ales, everything is purely authentic. Even the bar itself was imported from Great Britain. Truly “a pub from over there, over here”.

Since its establishment in 1990, The Old Toad has built a reputation for providing friendly, excellent service. We offer a wide range of beer - from real ales, imports, and local favourites, to our very own custom brews. In addition, we serve traditional British meals as well as contemporary pub grub (including vegetarian meals). This is a relaxed atmosphere, there are no televisions or blaring jukeboxes here. So please, come in and see what all the fuss is about, mate. We promise, you’ll be glad you did.


CELEBRATE ST ANDREWS DAY HERE AT THE OLD TOAD WITH A
“WEE BIT O’ BREWDOG”

Come and toast the Patron Saint of Scotland on 27th – 30th November with a couple of pints from Scotland’s newest and most creative brewery BREWDOG.

BrewDog is about breaking rules, taking risks, upsetting trends, unsettling institutions but first and foremost, great tasting beers.
And of course we will have homemade haggis and Scottish food specials available!



Timmy's Tipple - ARRIVING SOON

We have been up to our tricks again with our friend Bruce Lish at Custom Brewcrafters. We have decided in conjunction with Tim our kitchen manager, Jules, Matt, Alex, Rahael, and Bruce, to brew a Chocolate Cherry Stout for the winter season! Tim loves cherry in his beer so really wanted to have a cherry presence. And, what goes better with cherries than chocolate?! We took over 30 POUNDS of 100% cocoa Valrhona chocolate and threw it in the kettle. The rest, they say, is history!

Come down Friday 20th for a sneak peek of our beer through the Randall with cherries!
