Hit or Miss

I have learned to avoid the Thistle because service and food are SO hit or miss. I've been there when the place is packed, ate great food and had a wonderful time. I've also been served old, possibly re-used food by rude staff who then informed me that I "didn't order off the late-night menu, so the chef was doing you a favour"....when I wasn't told about a late night menu...the patio is nice in the summer. It's not a great venue for bands, as it's too small. Not bad for a pint and a plate of nachos, but don't expect much.
