The Twa Tams

The Twa Tams is one of the many places my love and I went for a pint and a bite to eat while we were in Perth on holiday.
We decided to make a night of it one night, and ordered food and drinks while waiting for a band to play. We were able to book a table and asked to be seated close enough to the stage so that we could enjoy the band. The band of the night was a band called Tunna (pronounced Ton-​a) who were a Celtic band. My boyfriend is pretty particular about his music, but we quite enjoyed ourselves, even though we only stayed for half the set. It was a really loud set up, and we decided the next time we make our way to Perth and happen upon this place, we’ll ask to be sat a bit farther away.
The food was pretty spot on. We ordered some chicken wings to start which were absolutely delicious and it came with the best BBQ sauce I’d ever had. I meant to ask what kind it was, but forgot. For the mains, he ordered a burger with haggis on it, which came with chips and I ordered the gourmet chili dog, without jalapenos which also came with chips. We also ordered onion rings to share, which I thought were pretty gross. They reminded me of the frozen ones you can get out of Morrisons that are basically minced onion in a battered ring. Yick.
All in all, the staff was pretty amazing. Very tentative and waited on us at our tables. That’s the first time I’d ever been in to a pub and had table service. We had two different people wait on us, and it was pretty great. They had one of my favourite ciders available (spiced apple) and we also had a voucher for a fiver off, just for joining their email on their website.
There is an outdoor patio area with loads of seating for eating and drinking. Pretty great once the weather gets a bit warmer!
If we’re ever in Perth again, I’m sure we’d stop back by Twa Tams! It’s great time!

First I’ll say I’ve never eaten anything here so this review is on the music and bar scene only. I think it is a really nice music pub. I’ve been to a few shows there, great music good set up and good bar. Clean well lit and a mixture of ages. A pub I’d take my mother too for drinks and music ;)
We ve been told by a friend who plays there a lot that he wouldn’t eat there… But it looks clean enough. Just know there are better places to eat in town :) but for music and drinks great place !!

Twa Tams is a friendly, local pub. Waiter service and prompt food, without that ‘junk food’ feel. Specials (two for 9:99) every day with a full menu. The pub itself has had a few cosmetic changes, but has managed to keep the same spirit regardless. Dining can be in the main pub, or in the lighter conservatory, or for the braver amongst you, the heated beer garden. Full bar and local beers/​ales. At the weekend the Tam’s has live music, everything from jazz/​blues/​folk to the generic student groups playing their first gig outside the local college.
All in all a great all round pub, you’ll be glad you found us. :)

While away on a weekend of debauchery with the other half’s brass band, I found out that one of his friends from Uni lived in the area and that we were going to meet up with him for lunch.
Right, so I was in charge of finding a place. To be honest, there’s not much Unilocal help in Perth, but I did find this place, which seemed reasonable (and cheap), and could probably take the six to eight of us who were going to go to lunch. (As the location I tried before was unlikely to be able to fit us all in).
The pub is very nice! It seems like it’s not really going to be there, but all of a sudden you happen upon it. It’s also a pub that does table service. Which is a bit odd, but also kind of nice when you’re waiting for people. Four people had pies (fish, steak and ale, and chicken and ham) and they all really seemed to like them. The other half and someone else had the Balmoral chicken (chicken with bacon and haggis), and they both raved about it. I had the tex-​mex burger (a chili burger with onion rings, cheese, and a spicy sauce), and I was very impressed with how spicy everything was (one of my pet peeves is seeing «spicy» on the menu and the food not being at all spicy).
The pub itself is quite spacious and has an outdoor seating area (if that’s your thing, which in November, it’s definitely NOT my thing).
If we’re back up for the band competition next year, we may have to stop in again.

What a great place! The service was friendly, attentive, and helpful and the food was good at a great deal (2 for £9.99 specials). We sat next to the fireplace in the dining area but the outdoor garden looked very inviting too. It appeared heated and very popular. I’m glad I was introduced to this place and look forward to my next visit.

Hello. Let me tell you about a nice litte pub named the Twa Tams.
Warmly decorated with classic rock and folk lyrics etched into the wood of the walls. There is a very convenient beer garden out back for summer nights. This seems to be the place that aging rockers go to die
Bands play most weekends. They are of varying quality but expect a lot of cover bands blasting out mainsteam pop hits and classic tunes your dad loves to sing.
If this sounds like a boring night out to you, open your damn mind. I haven’t had a bad experience in Twa Tams yet, and it’s excellent for being with friends in the beer garden, nursing a beer and having a laugh.
