Occupying a handsome former bank building on Crieff's main street, The Bank is the kind of all-day pub and restaurant that Scottish town centres do well. The interior retains some of the original banking hall features, giving it more architectural character than a typical high-street pub, and the kitchen turns out reliable Scottish pub food — pies, haggis, fish, and seasonal specials — at sensible prices.
It draws a local crowd throughout the day and is a useful option for a no-fuss lunch or an early dinner before or after visiting the distillery or the gardens. The bar carries a decent selection of Scottish whiskies, as you would expect in a town with Glenturret on its doorstep. Weekend evenings can be lively, particularly when there are sporting events on.
The Bank represents the unpretentious side of Crieff's hospitality — comfortable, friendly, and honest about what it is. It is not a destination in itself, but it is a reliable and convivial place to eat in the town centre.
