Terrible name decent pub

I'd probably give it three and a half stars if I could!Most people of a certain age will still think of this place as McGonnagles (probably spelt that wrong I know!)It was/is a slightly studenty pub by virtue of its location on the Perth road opposite Duncan of Jordanstone art college, but that shouldn't put people off, there's a fair mixture of clientel. Inside the rather strange central stairwell rather dominates the place and does rather rob it of space, there isn't really much room to stand although there are comfy seats. There's usually one or two cask ales (Orkney Dark Island I seem to remember from the last time we were in) on draft and there's a decent selection of malts. Special mention goes to the plates of hot nachos with melter cheese which fair soak up the beer and are very moreish.There's a totally different vibe downstairs where the other bar lurks besides the toilets. I remember a few years ago when someone decided to decorate that are by cramming the walls with dozens on (non functioning) old black and white TV sets!
