The finalists for the Lanarkshire Live Pub of The Year competition are in.
Hundreds of votes were cast for our inaugural competition, highlighting the importance of a good local to our readers and communities.
Our very merry band of secret shoppers were delighted to embark on their covert, boozy mission to put a final nail in the coffin of any residing New Year’s resolutions, partaking in a few pints, glasses of wines and halves on the fly along the way.
And having submitted their comprehensive reviews of the leading favourites – marking them from one to ten in 10 different categories – we can now reveal your top 10 favourite boozers.
And that includes the much-loved Staging Post in Airdrie.
A bit of a hard find, the Staging Post is worth seeking out as it offers something for all the family.
Slightly hidden for first timers, the Anderson Street venue may look like a traditional pub from days gone by, but inside it boasts a modern feel and warm welcome.
Since the start of the year, there have been plenty of entertainment nights, including a Bounce Bingo event, which appeals to those with interest in clubland classics and EDM style music.
Whilst modern, it will soon undergo a refurb, closing its doors on March 7 for a short time.
There were plenty of families in the restaurant when we popped in for a visit, showing its high standing amongst locals.
A pint comes in at around £3 in some cases while there’s a range of cocktails and wine on offer.
They have introduced a Just Eat delivery service which is handy for potential customers, with a full menu on offer – they even deliver alcohol as part of this, including a full bottle of Buckfast.
Phone in advance of attending the restaurant.
