If I remember rightly its in Waterfoot Tealeaf, seem to remember it was more of a shop than a pub, but something tells me they did graduate to a pub, maybe Jen could shed a bit more light on that, as for one in Accy area, the closest that came was when Britcliffe suggest that for, I think, the Printers Arms a few years ago, but it was a none starter
